  <default_description> &lt;i&gt;Synopsis&lt;/i&gt;:  Stark lives in Colour, a neighbourhood whose inhabitants like to be co-ordinated with their surroundings. Then there's Red closeby - if you want to see a tactical nuclear battle recreated as a sales demonstration. Stark has friends in Red, which is just as well because something is about to happen.</default_description>
