Two extraordinary women - they share a birthday, a destiny, and a powerful man who can destroy them both.
Laura: a brilliant fashion designer and trailblazing photographer. She is unaware of the tragedy her art will cause in the wake of a brief but haunting love affair.
Tess: ruthlessly determined to forge a future of unlimited ambition. She blazes a trail of sexual manipulation and conquest until she sets her sights and, tragically her heart on the nation's most desirable man.
Haydon Lancaster: the country's most charismatic and irresistibly attractive young political leader. It seems nothing can stand between Hal and the White House until - on the eve of the 1964 Democratic Convention - a shot rings out, and the course of American history is forever altered.
