Paris' Left Bank, late 1920s: a whirlwind of wealth, creativity, sensuality and vice. Harry and Caresse Crosby - literature's most scandalous couple - have placed themselves at its centre. He is an American heir, poet and publisher who epitomizes the 'Lost Generation'; she, transforms herself from Mary Peabody, to Caresse, a willing concubine.
