Archie Soileau is a country boy-a baby boomer who goes to New Orleans to make his fortune. Through manipulation, lies and theft, Archie rises in the world, gaining the trophy wife, success, and wealth. Archie is the quintessential American “winner” – businessman, con-artist, patriarch and destroyer of everyone in his wake.
