Entitlement

Brooke grew up in Manhattan, adopted and of a different race than her mother and brother. She spent nine not-so-happy years teaching at an underfunded and underperforming school and is searching for one thing: purpose. She starts a new job at the Asher and Carol Jaffee Foundation, an organization dedicated to "the exalted task of giving away [its patrons'] earthly fortune." Here, she becomes the mentee of Asher Jaffee, and she is introduced to a city she never knew existed. Is it purpose that she craved all along, or was it something else? Noble aspirations can often wither when facing the corrupting power of money, and there is some sinister pleasure in seeing how this all unfolds for Brooke as the lines between hers and his, right and wrong, passion and obsession, start to blur.
