THE AFFAIR explores the emotional and psychological effects of an extramarital affair. The provocative drama will be told separately from the male and female perspectives – using the distinct memory biases to both misdirect and intrigue. Alison, a young woman waiting tables at a popular Hamptons diner, is trying to piece her life back together in the wake of a tragedy. Her husband Cole struggles to keep it all together, with his wife and with the financially-strained ranch that has been in his family for generations. Their emotionally-charged marriage becomes even more complicated when Alison begins an affair with Noah, a New York City public school teacher and aspiring novelist who is spending the summer at his in-laws' estate out on the island. Helen is Noah's college sweetheart, best friend, mother of his children, lover and wife of 17 years.
