Two small-town girls, lifelong friends, make it to the top in Washington, D.C., each in her own way. Gentle, conscientious Minnie finds love, while ambitious, scheming Maxie's relentless pursuit of wealth and power attracts two powerful men: a grasping Senator and the handsome, vapid President. A satirical look at politics, power, and sex in the nation's capital, from a keen Washington observer.
