Description
Bert and his vaudeville company travel to a little town in California called Hollywood where it's said they can make motion pictures without interference from Edison's thugs. But the shadow of New York is hard to shake. When the owners responsible for the Triangle Shirtwaist fire are cleared of all charges just like those at the Iroquois Theater, Adeline's PTSD returns. To cope with it, she takes laudanum and soon becomes addicted.Trevor thinks what she needs is marriage and family to occupy her. But is that what Addie really wants? She only knows she feels a kinship for the suffragists. Nevertheless, Trevor lures her overseas to meet his family, where his past catches up with him.Unknown the Trevor, the police are waiting for him in England. If he can't shake them, he could be hanged or spend the rest of his life in prison. His only option might be to flee to New York on the only ship available: the Titanic.
