Victor comes on to Anna like a force of nature. "I'm the man of your dreams," he tells her, but for the next fifteen years of abuse, Victor is really the man of her nightmares. But Victor has his own share of nightmares...nightmares that he nourishes with visits to his wheel-chaired sister Claire. Victor distributes heroin under the backdrop of his glittering casino, working with his Buenos Aires contact and reluctant business partner, Giovanni, whom he visits frequently. Since Victor wants to control his wife, he has Michael watch her while he's away. But things get really juicy when Michael and Anna become more than just friends. As Victor catches wind of their torrid affair, he orders his hired femme fatale Christina to kill Anna. Now Anna must face the biggest challenge of her life and play the game, or die trying.

An epic tale of Vermont's fight for self-determination, led by Ethan Allen; and Lucy Prince, the first black female poet, and her quest for justice and peace.
