DESCRIPTION:
(from ABC's press release, March 2014) They are two New York socialites, equally skilled in the art of manipulation, living by their own amoral codes. Philip Fitzgerald Julien (Rufus Sewell) drips intelligence, wit and sensuality. His female counterpart, Margot Worth Cole, commands instant attention with her power, style and intellect. Ages ago, they were involved romantically with disastrous results. Now, the two are balancing the delicate lines between friends, ex-lovers, and adversaries, always one heated conversation from falling into bed with the other. They play out their obsessive attraction and seduction through the manipulation of others. And no one is better at it than these two. Their first target is Margot's ex who has double-crossed her in their divorce. With Philip's help, she wants to destroy him with a humiliation so big he'll be forced off the island of Manhattan in shame. Margot's plan begins with Philip seducing her ex's soon to be fiancé, a very young and beautiful virgin model. A gratifying start for their renewed alliance. With their masterful manipulations, Philip and Margot will seduce you into their elite world in this sexy drama from Richard LaGravanese (Behind the Candelabra; Beautiful Creatures; Water for Elephants).
