Stylish, smart, and big-hearted, Cyan Magenta Yellow Black lovingly summons the Minneapolis Saint Paul of December of 1993, just before the internet changed everything. It' s a place where friendships form in group therapy sessions and blossom in coffee shops- and where a handful of people contemplate kerning, color palettes, and headlines with the passion of artisans.

In his early thirties, Duane Einwald already has his own ad agency. And he' s about to be married to the woman he loves. But when his idealism sharpens into something far more toxic, his fiance e breaks off their engagement and his partners force him out. While he' s on the adult version of a time out, he meets two new friends- Emily and Porter- who are fleeing much deeper hurts. What unfolds is a testament to the power of friendship- and to the ways seemingly small acts of kindness and connection can transform us.
