We've heard it before; a young intern gets involved with an older elected official and no matter how discrete the two of them are, something happens and the affair eventually comes out. That's what happened to Aviva Grossman, and despite her efforts to carry on with her life and build a career, escaping the scandal and notoriety was almost impossible.

Fikry) takes this idea to gives us a window into the lives of the women involved as well as the women in their families in the aftermath.
