When Alice inherits the bulk of the operation in its darker days, she sets out to prove herself by uncovering the company’s history, all the way back to its Hungarian immigrant founder Eli. Her quest unfurls a storied tale involving runaway slaves and an intended 20th century settlement for European Jews, all ingredients in Zip’s Candies fantastic past.
