The Deal

S1, E1: 1947, Paris. Rising fashion designer Paul Sabine is offered the keys to Paris’ fashion kingdom and a new business partnership that could transform his business. But he can’t do it alone. He needs the help of his volatile brother, Claude, the true genius behind the label. The secret of who designs must be kept at any price…even murder. But is not the only shadow from the past and the present that will threaten the atelier’s fortunes and transform the lives of its work and blood family. Episode One also sees the return of Nina, a seamstress in the atelier, who has been absent from work because of a harrowing personal secret. She meets Billy Novak, an aspiring Bronx-bred photographer, who arrives in Paris with a colleague to write a story on Paul Sabine. They will all discover the past is as layered as the present; Paris is not all romance and blue skies—there are shadows too. When Billy recognizes Nina’s luminous beauty, it offers them both an opportunity to change their lives.
