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 that only the very rich could get away with… Based on Ann Major's novel, "Secret Child".
