Based off of the Sinjin drowning characters Elizabeth Hamilton didn't claw her way into the role of Secretary of the Interior to become a liability-but in President Owen Parks's administration, that's exactly what she's becoming. Brilliant, principled, and unafraid to challenge power, Elizabeth's latest decision puts her directly at odds with the White House, igniting a quiet but dangerous conflict behind closed doors. Washington calls it insubordination. Owen calls it a headache. Neither will admit it's something far more personal. President Owen Parks is known for control-over policy, over optics, over himself. What he refuses to confront is the way Elizabeth disrupts that control entirely. Every argument sharpens the air between them, every meeting stretches too long, and every attempt to distance himself only tightens the pull. Liking her would be reckless. Wanting her would be unforgivable. So he denies it-especially as the political cost of protecting her grows steeper by the day. As scandals simmer, loyalties fracture, and the line between professional duty and personal desire blurs, Elizabeth and Owen must decide what they're willing to sacrifice: their careers, their credibility... or the truth they both pretend doesn't exist. In a city built on power, denial may be the most dangerous policy of all.
