Based on Nathalie Robins & Steven Aronson's award winning novel, SAVAGE GRACE tells the incredible true story of Barbara Daly, who married above her class to Brooks Bakeland, dashing heir to the Bakelite plastics fortune.
Beautiful and charismatic Barbara is still not a match for her better-born husband. The birth of the couple's only child, Tony, rocks the uneasy balance in this marriage of extremes.
Tony is a failure in his father's eyes, and as he matures he becomes increasingly close to his lonely mother.
The seeds for tragedy of spectacular decadence are sown.
