For three years, Vince Astor endures a brutal secret test among the city's forgotten, unaware to all that he stands next in line for a vast American fortune. Helen Stark, the executive whose life he once rescued, finds him on the sidewalk and asks him to become her husband. Concealing his identity, Vince enters her wealthy household and bears their cruel contempt while they push Helen toward Philip West. Then the truth begins to break through. Powerful financiers bow, enormous deals appear, and criminal leaders show their loyalty. Yet Helen ultimately chooses the man behind the disguise, not his wealth or influence.
