“The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic and social change, when huge fortunes were made and lost overnight,” reads the Season 3 logline. “With the old guard officially deposed, New York society finds itself turned upside down, and all must get their house in order. But even those at the helm of this new era may find that change comes at a cost.”
