For twenty-five years, Lola has endured a tumultuous marriage marred by her husband Jack's infidelities and abuse. Despite his betrayals, she clung to the hope that things would change when Jack landed his dream job as university president.
However, Jack's new position thrusts them into a sordid scandal involving the sexual exploitation of student athletes by the athletic director. Haunted by his own history of misconduct, Jack resorts to his usual tactics: bribery and cover-ups. But when one of his past victims surfaces as a faculty member, the web of deceit threatens to entangle them both.
As the stakes escalate, Lola finds herself at a crossroads. Will she continue to enable Jack's misdeeds, sacrificing her dignity? Or will she summon the courage to break free from the cycle of abuse and help others find their voice?
