The story picks up at the turn of the century, when, as an ambitious young man, Joe Kennedy started courting Rose Fitzgerald -- daughter of the Boston's flamboyant mayor. A talented banker, Joe builds a financial empire, and then uses his wealth to venture into Hollywood filmmaking, and, eventually, the world of politics.
