Magnificent Doll

They spoke her name in whispers

With the British about to invade Washington, D.C., Dolley Payne Madison packs her belongings at the White House and looks back on her life: her childhood, her first marriage, and her later involvement with two very different politicians, Aaron Burr and his friend James Madison. She plays the men against each other for both romantic and political reasons, and by manipulating Burr's affections she helps Thomas Jefferson win the presidency—before eventually becoming First Lady herself.
