Beneath the facade of dazzling performances lurk secrets, murder, and mayhem.
Vinnie, a criminal on the run, finds refuge in a travelling show. He sets up his own vaudeville troupe just as the Great Depression hits Melbourne. Smitten with Belle, his star performer, a battle for her love ensues when Artis, his protégé, lays eyes on her.
Lured with promises of fame and fortune by both men, Belle joins Artis's new showbiz venture, leaving Vinnie hell-bent on revenge.
A marriage of convenience provides Vinnie with the funds and power he needs to destroy Artis's business and win Belle back. But when Vinnie makes a deal with the mob, it ends up costing him everything when a blackmail letter gets into the wrong hands.
Is Belle playing Artis and Vinnie in her quest for fame? Can her love be trusted? Is she a pawn in a twisted game, or the mastermind behind the curtain?
Will a love child be the ultimate undoing in their bitter feud?
