Five years from now, in the Raleigh offices of defense contractor Boykin Dean, Millie and Francine are training computers to do…something. That something is very important for protecting our protectors, our boys (oh, sorry, our ‘people’) abroad who fight for our freedom. Their families are proud. Their security clearance is low. Their supervisor Mrs. Buckley is the girlboss to end all girlbosses. When new coworker Loretta Lee and her direct ties to the military disrupts the peaceful duo, Millie must muddle through ethical questions about the true nature of her work amidst a budding secret romance.
