She is determined to succeed at any cost and won't let anything or anyone get in her way. Can the new team she's assembled close in on the traitor from within? Will they sever the leak to the press that threatens to thwart her goal? At home her sexual desires and indiscretions have so far been kept between her and her devoted fiance.
