    Lily is a smart, charismatic and charming socialite who frequents the best houses in New York as the twentieth century beckons. She is not, however, a wealthy woman. She has a small annuity and is largely dependent on income from her aunt Julia (Eleanor Bron). She also has a penchant for bridge. The kind that sees gambling debts accrue! Finding herself in need of funds and feeling that she dare not ask her benefactress, she is soon vulnerable to the machinations of some wealthy and unscrupulous men who have all they will ever need in life, save for a glamorous and suitable wife. She does have one more earnest suitor in Selden (Eric Stoltz) but its her financial dalliance with Gus (Dan Aykroyd) that sows the seeds of her spiral into a series...
