A tale of romance and adventure set in turn of the century New York City, Escapade sweeps from the glittering mansions on Fifth Avenue to the dark underworld of Five points. Rory Kavanaugh is so desperate to save her hot air balloon company, she takes on a risky performance with a circus. When the stunt goes wrong and she crashes onto the lawn of Zeke Morrison's estate, she sees a new opportunity to rescue her failing business. But when the ruthless millionaire claps eyes on the lovely Rory, Zeke harbors far different ideas than investing in hot air balloons. Rory finds herself attracted to him, a dangerous desire because Zeke is a man of many secrets. When his murky past catches up with him, Rory faces a daunting question: could she have fallen in love with a murderer?
