On her wedding night, actress Damien Vale is abandoned by her husband, Oscar winner Harrison Holt, who secretly meets his ex-lover Leah Marlow. Leah then smears Damien as the homewrecker while Harrison threatens to blacklist her. Damien releases footage of their affair to fight back, but Leah fakes a suicide attempt to pose as a victim, and Harrison's mother pressures Damien with bribes and ruin. Cornered, Damien contacts her grandfather Arthur Cross, head of the powerful European Cross Consortium, who exposes Leah's hoax and crushes the Holt empire.
Harrison and Leah are disgraced; Damien leaves Hollywood to inherit the family business.
