Like many before her, Maria Lagana has come to Hollywood to outrun her past.
Growing up in Mussolini's Italy, every Sunday Maria's father took her to the cinema instead of the church. But it's because of her that he was arrested and she and her mother flee to Los Angeles.
Fifteen years later Maria is an associate producer at Mercury Pictures. While the world descends into war, she rises through a maze of conflicting politics, divided loyalties and jockeying ambitions. Until the arrival of a stranger from her father's past means she must finally confront his fate - and her own.
