From chorus girls to Congressmen, all-powerful gossip columnist JJ Hunsecker can make or break anyone with his poison pen, and the whole country knows it. Vicious and vindictive, JJ controls everyone around him, with one exception - his adored half-sister Susan has plans for a life and a love of her own, and when JJ finds out he vows to stop her at any cost. Enlisting the aid of opportunistic young press agent Sidney Falcone, JJ sets in motion a series of life altering events that force everyone around him to answer the question "How far will you go to get what you want?"
