Based on actual events, Rose is the story of being a mistress to two bachelor brothers. All were born in poverty, victims of incest, yet working together they become one of the wealthiest families in America. The brothers become railroad magnets and move with Rockefeller, Flagler and Morgan. Rose is an early day feminist as they go from land developing and building city centers to owning railroads. Rose has two children by the brothers and entertains in their fifty room mansion. She indulges in lesbian relationships as they all live the free wheeling life before the market crash of 1929.
