Fiona Carson runs a multibillion-dollar tech empire as a single mother who carefully balances boardroom battles with bedtime stories. Every decision carries weight in a male-dominated industry where isolation comes with the corner office. Across town, Marshall Weston enjoys the rewards of corporate success alongside his wife Liz, who abandoned her law practice to raise their three children and play the perfect executive spouse. Marshall projects smooth confidence and wields power with apparent ease, but he guards dangerous secrets that could topple his carefully constructed life. Both executives face enemies who resent their achievements and seek to exploit any weakness. The corporate world demands sacrifice, but the question becomes how much each leader will give up to maintain their position. As pressures mount and rivals circle, Fiona and Marshall must decide whether to protect their families or preserve their empires when the two goals conflict.
