Truman Chase – son of Polish immigrants – is a young aspiring New York fashion designer with a vision. He gives up a dream career at Ralph Lauren to rescue his Polish family’s tiny, struggling clothing business in Krakow. He falls in love with Karolina, his Polish translator, then painstakingly builds a successful fashion house. Thanks to his bold aesthetic and exquisite use of color and sustainable fabrics in his dresses, he transforms TruCo into the hottest fashion house in Europe. His dream is within his grasp – that is, until a mysterious investment group comes after him.

The unscrupulous, son of a wealthy Latino family, he builds The Ark, his own $400 million dollar hedge fund. When The Ark almost capsizes due to Fernando’s greed, he frantically searches for the millions needed to keep it afloat. Fernando targets TruCo and wages war against Truman.
