The years immediately following World War II were a time of great change across America. In Kentucky, however, much remained the same. Three industries continued to dominate the Bluegrass State - bourbon, coal and 'the sport of kings,' thoroughbred racing. The Wellingtons - 'the Commonwealth’s first family' - had occupied center stage since Reconstruction, due in large part to generations of involvement in the state’s political scene. For Bentley Wellington, wrapping up his second stint as governor, a fateful evening in San Francisco sets in motion events that, decades later, would embroil his family in an expanding web of scandal involving murder, sex, finance and elements of the underworld ... and ripple through multiple states and stretch to neighboring Canada as well as overseas to Germany’s Rhineland.
