Summary

Now that they’re married, Jackie can’t wait to build a home with her new husband Jack. But the chronically ill politician has other ideas in mind. Convinced he’ll die young, Jack says yes to every opportunity that comes his way – and every woman. The stress of Jack’s disrespect takes a physical toll on Jackie and pushes their marriage to the breaking point. But with the White House on the horizon, they’ll have to team up to make it through.
