After crossing the Atlantic to New York, he became a United States citizen, assumed a new identity, and began again. Over the next nine years, he built up the most successful and popular theater in Manhattan, the Monumental on Broadway, became a well-respected businessman, and was finally able to walk among men without hiding either his existence from the world or his face from others.
In 1906, following a decade of counseling and building a theater empire, a letter from Paris arrives that could change everything.
Erik has faced many challenges in his life, but now he has come face to face with the biggest challenge of all. Fatherhood.
