Jane Addison, a determined young woman, arrives in New York at twenty-eight to pursue her dream of owning a company. She begins her career as an assistant to Hailey West at the prestigious Fletcher and Benson talent agency. Hailey, devoted to her authors, faces her own struggles as a widowed mother of three. Meanwhile, Francine Rivers, the head of the literary department, has navigated the fallout of her husband's infidelity, sacrificing much to overcome financial difficulties as a single mom. In contrast, drama agent Allie Moore enjoys a seemingly uncomplicated life until a romantic involvement with a rising star jeopardizes her career. Merriwether Jones, the agency's CFO, appears to have it all, but her husband's jealousy over her success threatens their marriage. As Jane settles into her role, she uncovers damaging secrets lurking within Fletcher and Benson. Though she holds the least power as a newcomer, her unwillingness to accept the status quo drives her to take bold action. When Jane decides to confront these hidden issues, the repercussions will reverberate throughout the agency, affecting everyone involved.
