Early 20th century America was a time of upheaval and strife. The Beautiful and Damned follows two socialites, Anthony and Gloria Patch, through the years and into the roaring twenties as they try desperately to find a place for themselves. Set in New York beginning in the pre-war years and moving through World War I into during the Jazz Age, and the Great Depression, The Beautiful and Damned concerns itself with the idle rich, and a quest for identity and purpose in a tumultuous world. It explores the idea of nostalgia, and the problems with being trapped in one's past instead of confronting the present.
