Webs of Power is a raw, unsentimental portrayal of greed, manipula-

tion, and relationships set in the excessive, insatiable retail industry
of the 1980s.
When a hostile takeover of the retail giant Consolidated is
announced, the lives of three determined women, each linked to
the corporate upheaval, are unexpectedly thrown off course: Paige
Toddman’s marriage to Consolidated’s West Coast Division CEO
is threatened when she decides to step out of her fast-paced lifestyle
to raise the unwanted child she is carrying, a choice driven by her
secret past. The fabric of Ashleigh McDowell’s life begins to fray
when her fiancé, the president of Consolidated’s West Coast Divi-
sion, moves away and her father figure faces a lawsuit that could
wipe out his controlling shares of the company’s stock. Vain and
power hungry, Viviana De Mornay will stop at nothing to
become the wife of the man leading the takeover.
