He called himself 'the world's greatest architect' and through the hundreds of houses he designed, Frank Lloyd Wright created the template for the modern home. But the highs and lows of his life were even more dramatic than his architecture. Worst of all his personal disasters was the death of his mistress in a brutal axe murder and fire that has never been properly solved. Piecing together the tragic events of that day, this program uncovers the story of scandal and intrigue that Wright himself preferred not to tell, and traces the story of his journey back to eventual recovery, critical recognition and finally, architectural immortality.

Based on the life of Jean-Michel Basquiat, who at age 19 catapulted from an unknown graffiti writer to one of the most successful, controversial and glamorous artists in the world. By 1988, he was dead at the age of 27. In spite of his success, this turbulent and talented young artist was also plagued by loneliness, self-destruction and the belief that people did not really accept him for who he was. As the first black artist to really succeed in the powerful white art world, his early death shows that he was a casualty as well as a phenomenal success.
