Synopsis

Savage Grace tells the incredible true story of the beautiful, charismatic and ambitious Barbara Dalye, who married above her class to Brooks Baekeland, the dashing heir to the Bakelite plastics fortune. The birth of the couple's only child, Tony, rocks the uneasy balance in this marriage of extremes. The Baekelands' pursuit of social distinction and the glittering ''good life'' propels them from New York to Paris, Cadaques, Majorca, and London, spanning 1946 to 1972. As Tony matures he becomes increasingly close to his lonely and protective mother, sowing the seeds for a tragedy of spectacular decadence
