SAVAGE GRACE tells the incredible true story of charismatic and beautiful Barbara Daly, who married above her class to Brooks Baekeland, the dashing heir to the Bakelite plastics fortune. The birth of their son Tony rocks the uneasy balance in this marriage of extremes. As Tony matures and becomes increasingly close to his lonely mother, the seeds for a tragedy of spectacular decadence are sown. Spanning 1946 to 1972, SAVAGE GRACE traces the Baekelands' heady rise and tragic fall against the backdrop of New York, Paris, Cadaques, Mallorca and London.
