News of his affair with a transgender woman rocks the presidential campaign of Florida’s Republican Governor Joseph Cortez and puts his campaign advisor Jenna Stevens on an unexpected collision course with the Kelsey Hunter, the woman at the center of the scandal.

Jenna is, well, was exactly where she needs to be as the newest advisor for Governor Cortez’s presidential campaign. Cortez’s ‘war on wokism’ has made him the frontrunner for the republican nomination, with a straight path to the White House after. Once she shows her value to the campaign and earns a spot in his administration, the sky is the limit. She’s put her career before everything else, and it looks to be paying off until a secret from Cortez’s past sends the campaign into a tailspin.

Kelsey Hunter wants to put her past behind her, pursuing her history masters in Seattle, about as far from Florida and its laws targeting trans people like her as she could get. With Governor Cortez dominating the political news, she can’t exactly put him and their encounters last summer behind her. Just as she is settling into her new home, the secret she planned to take to her grave is on everyone’s lips.

The exploding scandal brings these two women together in ways neither expected. Both want to get past the scandal, for starkly different reasons, but when they find an unlikely friendship forming, they might end up making headlines of their own.
