Season Overview
M is a professor of creative writing at a college town she has lived in for decades, and even raised his daughter in. Her life, thanks to her husband John, becomes a bit awkward, though. He, too, is a professor, and while they have an open marriage, he has been messing around with his students. Which, in another generation, would have just been a story to tell, but in modern times? That leads to a major scandal that doesn’t embarrass M, for she seems to be plotting one of her own.
