Dangerous Beauty

Veronica Franco (Catherine McCormack) is denied a marriage with the love of her life Marco Vernier (Rufus Sewell) due to her lowly social status. However, she remains undeterred and begins to cultivate a powerful image as an intelligent and glamorous woman, eventually rising through the social ranks until she is a courtesan. Determined to deny the social constraints which bind her, Veronica’s ambition earns her respect – but also draws her towards danger.
