The series follows Anna, a young woman from a working-class life and modest upbringing who discovers she may have a bright future in Washington D.C.'s fast political scene. When Anna leaves her trailer park home in Alabama, she cuts all ties with her family and buries every element of her checkered past. Her friends in Washington think she comes from a wealthy family and know nothing of her real upbringing. Suddenly, the real Anna is exposed when she causes a major political scandal and makes national headlines for her part in an affair with the President of the United States. With nowhere to turn, she is forced to find sanctuary in the only place she has left - home.
