Carly who is married with two kids, works as the school secretary, and Dinah the maths teacher who coaches the girls’ basketball team, unexpectedly fall for each other. Their late blooming passionate relationship causes a scandal at the Eleanor Roosevelt High School, and an outcry from family and friends.
