As the war for American independence rages on, Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler begin their new life as a married couple.

And with Alex's star on the rise, Eliza can't help but feel neglected by a husband who seems to have time for everyone but her. Torn apart by new trials and temptations, can Alex and Eliza's epic love survive life in the big city?
