A gripping story of retribution, belonging, and survival, Sinners of Starlight City boldly explores the complexity of identities straddling ethnic lines and asks, who gets to decide who we are and where we belong?.
With the clock ticking, Rosa decides the only way to survive is to make vengeance a family affair and prompt everyone to, at last, confront the sins from their pasts.
But when her estranged cousin, Mina, comes to her desperate for help, with a dangerous mobster close on her heels, Rosa agrees to protect Mina and her new baby, born across the color line.
The perpetrator will soon arrive at the World\'s Fair via a celebrated Italian air fleet, and Rosa is determined to be prepared.
She has come from Mussolini\'s Italy to America, where she\'s plotting her revenge for the murders of her family.
Rosa doesn\'t perform for fame, though.
As the mysterious Madame Mystique she mixes magic with a dose of bare skin burlesque, bringing customers to the home of the Fair\'s carnival rides and spectacles.
But every utopia has a seedy side--and that\'s Rosa Mancuso\'s world.
The Chicago World\'s Fair, a glittery city-within-a-city, becomes a symbol of the good that\'s yet to come.
It\'s the worst year of the Great Depression, and America needs all the hope it can get.
