Alice, a beautiful young woman from Canada, moves to Los Angeles, where she falls in love and marries a magnetic and driven businessman. She becomes both a feminist and socialite as together they make their mark on their beloved California. Success is sure as the early 20th Century economy booms, except that they both have secrets. The darkness that falls has repercussions, moving this true story, told mostly through letters, way beyond the simple romance of an accomplished singer and socialite, into a tragedy felt by future generations.
