Based on a true story - A murder and a case of mistaken identity bring the police to Hannah Elias' glitzy, five-story, twenty-room mansion on Central Park West. This is the beginning of an odyssey that moves back and forth in time, revealing the dangerous secrets of a mysterious woman, the fortune she built, and her precipitous fall.
