The story follows Anna, a young woman who escaped her working class upbringing in Alabama to start fresh in Washington, D.C.  After making national headlines in a major political scandal involving one of the nation’s most powerful players, she is forced to return to her roots and face a past she thought she left behind.  Seeking help and forgiveness from the same people she abandoned for a “better” life, Anna finds herself right back where she worked so hard to escape… Too Close to Home.
