 | In 1866, tragedy strikes the exclusive Windfield School when a young student drowns in a mysterious accident. His death and its aftermath initiate a spiraling circle of treachery that will span three decades and entwine many lives. From the exclusive menâ??s clubs and brothels that cater to every dark desire of Londonâ??s upper class to the dazzling ballrooms and mahogany-paneled suites of the manipulators of the worldâ??s wealth, one family is splintered by a shared legacy. But greed, fed by the shocking truth of a boyâ??s death, must be stopped, or the dreams of a nation will die.
