The Secrets of Lake Success (1993)

In the irresistible tradition of Dynasty and Dallas comes this story of a glamorous family living in a gorgeous mansion in an idyllic town called Lake Success. Beneath the town's peaceful façade are backstabbing power struggles, family betrayal, forbidden sexual trysts, shady business deals and long-buried secrets. Family patriarch (Brian Keith) gets the last laugh in his will when he leaves the family business to his long-lost daughter, Suzy Atkins (Liz Vassey, The Tick, ER). Suzy's ambitious stepsister, Decker, and her amoral brother, Rowan, will stop at nothing to get the company back. Complicating matters, Suzy's mother (Valerie Perrine) suddenly returns to Lake Success with an agenda of her own after abandoning her family many years ago. Meanwhile, Rowan's sex-hungry mistress and her provocative little sister will stop at nothing to get their share of the Atkins money! Can pure-hearted Suzy outsmart-or even survive-a family who are experts in deception#and maybe find love while she's at it? A truly addictive pleasure with many surprising twists and turns, The Secrets of Lake Success will have you hooked! Sizzling cast includes Ryan Philippe (Cruel Intentions), Samantha Eggar (The Brood), Ray Wise (Twin Peaks), John Bradley (Independence Day), George Del Hoyo (Days of Our Lives)
