Bronte is running away from a failed wedding ceremony in the rain when she finds a cabin for shelter,
occupied by a blood-soaked golden-eyed man who claims he just killed a man.
His name is Mars West, and on impulse he kisses her, just as the police come to drag him away.

Five years later Bronte comes to New York to see Mars, who spent three years in prison for the murder
it turns out he didn’t commit. Then things get strange…

This is a soap opera of the highest order, with machinations and manipulations only the very rich could get away with…

Based on Ann Major's novel, "Secret Child".
