This series revolves around the young businessman/conman
Stephan Crane.,a.k.a Derek Love,played by an early career
Clive Owen. The young man is bursting with talent as becomes apparent to those who come into contact with him,
including the meglomaniac financier Robert Franklin,played
delightfully by british veteran actor Peter Vaugahn. (SP?) Clive Owen is a must see in this, his breakout role which
led to U.S. film stardom. I encourage anyone who has access to a copy of the shows 2 dvds ( 2 seasons), possibly through
your local library,to delve into Cranes world for a few hours- you won't be disappointed. As Stephan might say "Cranes Law - Rule number one- He who won't get off the fence will end up with splinters in his bum".moreless
