Beck is 25, broke, and barely surviving in Washington DC when she spots an online job posting that changes everything. The position turns out to be White House stenographer, and suddenly she finds herself part of Barack Obama's elite travel team with a permanent seat on Air Force One. The White House dazzles her with its glamour and intrigue, but underneath the protocols and prestige, it operates like any office with workplace friendships and petty drama. Beck navigates this surreal new world while falling for a colleague who works as the president's right hand. The problem is they are both already in relationships. As Beck builds unexpected friendships within Obama's inner circle, she must figure out what matters most while finding her voice in the most powerful building in America.
