Stealing his cousin's identity, Philip flees to America where he changes his name, his life, and his outlook. And when the beautiful actress Elizabeth Dalstan takes him under her wing and helps turn his first play into a smashing success, Philip's joy is complete.
But the mystery of what really happened to Douglas during their confrontation has followed Philip to the New World, and now threatens everything he has achieved.
