Framed in the plot of a forty year-old movie, our man Clyde Belmondo adopts a Bogartian attitude and a snub-nosed .38 to navigate a path to justice, but quickly finds himself sucked into a quagmire where illusion masquerades as reality and trust disappears like Cuervo from a shot glass.

The rivalries, romances, hopes and fears of the residents of the fictional Midwestern metropolis, Genoa City. The lives and loves of a wide variety of characters mingle through the generations, dominated by the Newman, Abbott, Baldwin and Winters families.
