A glamorous yet tragic period drama centered on a showgirl caught between two powerful men, culminating in scandal and violence rooted in jealousy and obsession.

Broadway showgirl Evelyn Nesbit is the object of affection of two men: playboy architect Stanford White and the wealthy but unstable Harry Thaw. Nesbit marries Thaw, but White’s continued pursuit puts him in the path of Thaw’s volatile temper. A fictionalized account of true events that occurred at the turn of the 20th century.
