Starting March 2 at 8pm, Showseries welcomes you to the world of Dirty Sexy Money - the brand new Golden Globe nominated drama starring Emmy winner Donald Sutherland and three-time Emmy nominee Peter Krause (Six Feet Under) in this younger, sexier, redheaded stepchild of Dallas and Dynasty.

Power, privilege and family money are a volatile cocktail. Living proof of this are the Darlings of New York City, so absurdly wealthy, they put the 'upper' in Upper East Side. This pre-eminent family are always getting mixed up with the wrong people and finding themselves in the middle of bad situations and it'll take a miracle to take care of the legal - and sometimes illegal - needs of the Darling family.

That miracle comes in the form of Nick George - a do-good lawyer. As a boy, Nick watched his father surrender his freedom and family as the Darling's trusted consigliore. Nick grew up in a troubled household where he was always second to the overpowering Darling family.

After the mysterious, sudden death of Nick's father, family patriarch Tripp Darling offers Nick the opportunity to inherit the responsibility of protecting the Darlings's secrets.

The powerful and persuasive Tripp Darling, owner of vineyards and homes around the world, lives with his beautiful and graceful wife, Letitia and while they symbolise the charm and all-Americanism of old money, they also embody scandal and have spawned five grown, troubled children.

The billions of dollars possessed by the Darling clan have created a great American family - and those same riches might also bring it down. The money Nick earns as their personal lawyer allows him the freedom to do some good for society, but as he finds himself racing to plead with cops, hush the tabloids and furiously wipe the mud off the esteemed Darling reputation, Nick wonders if he has gotten the chance of a lifetime - or a life sentence.

Dirty Sexy Money has everything you could hope for in a night time soap: a stellar cast, lush interiors, catfights, affairs, parties and jewels. But it's also the story of one man's attempt to hang on to his moral centre while cleaning up after a spoiled family worth billions.
