World War II is over and Paul Sabine is restoring Paris as the fashion capital of the world. His dresses are a sensation, and only his shady past and an inconvenient corpse block his way to success. Richard Coyle stars as Paul; with Mamie Gummer as Helen, his rich American wife; Jenna Thiam as Nina, the seamstress who becomes his top model; Frances de la Tour as his devious mother Yvette; and Tom Riley as his debauched brother Claude, the self-destructive genius designer.
