Speakeasies! Gangsters! Flappers!
In 1918, Kansas City is Sin City. Forced to leave home
at age fourteen, beautiful Hannah Glidden struggles to
survive but with help from her childhood friend, Meg,
mistress to a wealthy man and the irrepressible, flapper
extraordinaire, Rosie, she thrives as a cabaret singer.
The early 20's roared. Fortunes were made or lost in a
single night, and criminals mingled with kings. Neither the
government nor prohibition could stop the flow of alcohol
or the lure of the ""good life"". Handsome rum runner,
Johnny Gallo is part of New York's large growing criminal
empire where the sky is the limit. The ruthless Gallo has a
knack for knowing the right people, and a
single–minded devotion to getting what he wants. And,
he wants Hannah.
Hannah goes with Johnny to Al Capone's Chicago and
eventually to Brooklyn, New York where she basks in the
glamourous shadow world of gangsters and their gals. Johnny
becomes a force to be reckoned with but in time the
free–spirited Hannah clashes with her controlling
lover.
She faces the dark side of her dreams but dares to defy
Johnny despite the dangers and unwittingly discovers that
for her, dying might be the only true path to freedom after
all.
