Synopsis
In 1990 Paul Yule created a documentary film about one of America's greatest photographers: O. Winston Link. Link, 76 at the time, earned his reputation from photographs of locomotive engines at night. Shot in the Fifties--the last days of steam engines--these photos have become icons of 20th Century Americana. In 1983 Link had married Conchita who was twenty years younger than him. As his business manager Conchita helped to dramatically increase the value of his photographs, while turning Link into a celebrity. But behind the veneer of success and recognition was a tragic story of deceit, lies and greed with an unexpected and sordid twist. Soon after the completion of that film, it became clear that Conchita had been cheating on Link with another man, had allegedly terrorized and imprisoned Link in the basement of their home, and had finally stolen his assets and wealth. Following the widely reported divorce and criminal trial, Conchita found herself locked behind bars. Is this a case of fraudulent possession that cleaned out an old and sick husband? Or a wife incriminated and disinherited by a senile, vengeful and violent husband backed by a battery of society lawyers.
