Summary

Caroline D'Amore thought she'd found a mentor in David Bloom, a self-proclaimed power player with ties to some of the world’s most influential CEOs. But her excitement quickly turns to betrayal when David’s complex scheme to defraud her and others out of nearly a quarter of a million dollars is exposed. Determined to seek justice, Caroline takes matters into her own hands and turns the tables on the man once known as the “Wall Street Whiz Kid.” Who is David Bloom – and will he ever pay for his crimes? Find out on Season 1 of Once Upon a Con.
