Pola Miller

A tale of two hustlers trying to set up a big game.

Thrown out of her home by a jealous husband, a woman sinks into degradation. Twenty years later, she is charged with killing a man bent on harming her daughter. The daughter, unaware of who the woman is, takes the assignment to defend her in court.

Two literary women compete for 20 years: one writes for the critics; the other one, to get rich.
