The Affair
At once deeply observed and intriguingly elusive, "The Affair" explores the emotional effects of an extramarital relationship. Noah is a New York City schoolteacher and budding novelist, married for 20 years with four children. Alison is a young waitress and wife from Montauk at the end of Long Island, trying to piece her life back together in the wake of a tragedy. The provocative drama unfolds separately from multiple perspectives, using the distinct memory biases of each character to tell the story. Created by Sarah Treem.
