Elliot Svendson has returned to her childhood Minnesota home to lick her wounds after catching her professor husband between the legs of one of his grad students. Leaving behind a promising academic career, she finds herself raising her five-year-old son solo and working at a Talbot's in the mall to make ends meet.

When Madison and Elliot’s affair is exposed, the news sends shockwaves that will rock their lives and the lives of those around them.
