MAD MEN meets THE FIRM. Advertising's golden age begins in the '60s with MAD MEN and ends in the '80s with THE ADMAN. Hot shot ad executive Ben Norris fights to achieve his dreams in a world of shifting values - where each battle he wins causes him to lose a little more control of his life. Ben thrives on recognition and does whatever it takes to please his clients, his boss, and even those working for him. Dedication pays off professionally but does little to support his home life in spite of his love for his young daughter, Katie. A fatal obsession with fashion designer Liz Atherton ruins his marriage and jeopardizes his business life also. Ben stumbles down a path of personal destruction and murder from which there seems to be no return.
