Logline: The Gold Coast is that stretch on the North Shore of Long Island that once held the greatest concentration of wealth and power in America. Here two men are destined for an explosive collision. John Sutter is a Wall Street lawyer, holding fast to a fading aristocratic legacy. Frank Bellarosa is a charming but dangerous Mafia don, who moves in next door to the Sutters, and who seizes his piece of the unprepared Gold Coast like a barbarian chief, drawing Sutter and his beautiful wife Susan into his violent world. The Gold Coast is a captivating story of friendship and seduction, love and betrayal
