By day, he points the finger at the O’Banion gang and starts the notorious gang wars that pervaded the era. But Bill’s troubles have only just begun. He has quite the reputation of “womanizer” and “carefree bachelor”. Not the type to be struck dumb by any one woman, until he meets the daughter of a wealthy man who happens to despise the mob.

The drama races from gin-joints to gangsters to Chicago high society, in a maelstrom of lust, life, danger and sordid reality. At the focus is Jennifer - the illegitimate child of Capone’s mentor, notorious John Torrio and now, the society daughter of enormously wealthy, Warren Shanenberg. Having run from one marriage, she suddenly finds herself captive in a love/hate relationship with Bill with no resolution in sight. Her kidnapping, the intervention of Al Capone and the demise of all that seems normal in life, is powerfully portrayed in this highly tense story.

Go back to Roaring Twenties where romance lived to its fullest, because life stood on the edge. Who jumped, was a matter of character.
