Power is just another dirty habit.
Senator Eleanor Hayworth has spent decades mastering the ruthless art of Washington politics - building a legacy on whispered deals, shadow alliances, and carefully crafted lies. But when an assassination attempt forces her out of the spotlight, Eleanor's tightly controlled world begins to unravel.
As her loyal but scheming chief of staff Kara Donnelly juggles crises, and the unpredictable press secretary Noelle Voss stokes fires in the media, dark secrets buried deep within the halls of power start to surface. Meanwhile, investigative fixer Julian Drake circles with his own agenda, and Eleanor's estranged daughter Charlotte is dragged back into a dangerous game that threatens to destroy them all.
In a city where loyalty is currency and betrayal is the norm, everyone is playing to win - and no one is safe.
Sharp, biting, and mercilessly funny, The Smoke Room is a dark comedy thriller about the cost of power, the theater of politics, and the secrets we keep to survive.
