Chicago, 1982. John Atchison, known as "Champagne Johnnie," lived a life as dazzling as his high-rise apartment on the Gold Coast. By day, he was a silver-haired socialite, hosting legendary brunches for the city's elite.
By night, he navigated a hidden world of leather bars and clandestine encounters. But when Johnnie is found brutally murdered in his lavish home, the line between his two lives blurs.
The police blame a "rough trade" encounter, but a crucial item is missing from his desk: a Rolodex filled with the names, numbers, and secrets of Chicago's most powerful men.
Was Johnnie a victim of passion, or did his "insurance policy" finally come due?
Join us as we uncover the glittering facade and dark underbelly of a city that chose to bury a secret, not solve a murder.
