The story
At the height of Studio 55's legendary 'Diamond Disco' night in late 1979, the ambitious club owner, Tony Maroni, is found murdered. As the disco ball glitter settles, it reveals a scene of betrayal, ambition, and secrets. The aspiring owner, Brenda "Bellbottoms" Bellweather, was on the cusp of taking over, but Tony's sudden demise casts a shadow over her dreams. Was it a rival, a spurned lover, or someone else entirely who silenced Tony before he could declare the winner of the 'Diamond Disco' trophy and reveal the club's uncertain future?
Setting: Studio 55, a legendary New York City disco club in late 1979. The VIP lounge is filled with velvet ropes, overpriced champagne, and enough glitter to be seen from space.
