Chicago's Headmaster

During the height of The Great Depression in 1931 and due to unforeseen circumstances, Matt Pagano finds himself in charge of what was once Chicago's most innovative brothel. At 23 and with no leadership experience, Matt must depend on Ugo Sapone, the former owner's confidante and right-hand man, to help him bring Night School back to those glory days guaranteed to provide his employees a decent income as well as others, good or bad, the opportunity to profit from Night School's rejuvenation. In addition to Matt's vulnerable Night School staff, his challenging new world includes the lowliest of Chicago's Underworld, the upper echelon of Chicago's finest, wealthy outsiders determined to expand their business opportunities, and those who care for the sick and dying as well as orphans with no homes and children hoping to reunite with their families. Matt promises himself not to mix business with pleasure-but some promises were meant to be broken. Or at the very least, reevaluated. Careful who you ask God to bless, Matteo, Ugo tells Matt several months after he takes over Night School. Today's ally could be tomorrow's enemy.
