Season 2
After a year of public protests against his Presidential legacy, Season 2 finds former President Richard Graves turning inward in search of the man he used to be before he was President. This journey is compounded by the arrival of his first grandchild, thanks to daughter Olivia and a new revelation about his son, Jeremy. Graves’s journey coincides with wife Margaret’s Senate campaign, as the former First Lady attempts to build her own political legacy at the exact moment that her husband is tearing his down; and his assistant, Isaiah Miller’s search for new direction. Meanwhile, Graves’s spiritual muse Samantha finds a new calling as a singer/songwriter.
