A long-lost family of Italian royalty. Deep-seated secrets. And a remarkable journey of discovery.

Catherine Copperfield knows where she came from. During her childhood, her Grandfather Gionnocaro told her endless stories of his youth in Italy before a ship brought him to America in the 1940s. It was a romantic past of grandeur and intellectualism -- a far cry from his poor livelihood in New York City.

But he lost his wealth in the blink of an eye.

And Catherine is ready to find out why.

With her daughter Scarlet beside her, Catherine journeys to Ellis Island to get to the bottom of Gionnocaro's early years in America.

What she discovers there boggles her mind -- and distracts her from the story that unfolds in real-time before her very eyes.

The past has a way of catching up to you.
