Synopsis
Until an FBI bust upended her life, Jeanette Maier was a successful New Orleans madam. Her discreet clientele included a number of high-ranking politicians. The ensuing public trial focused on the fact that Jeanette's brothel was a family affair. Jeanette ran the business with her mother and she employed her own daughter as an escort. Jeanette and her family found their futures blighted by felony convictions and their well-connected clients escaped exposure. Now, Jeanette (a.k.a. Canal Street Madam) sets out to reinvent herself as she fights back against a system that silences the powerless and protects the elite.
