Description: The Monroes is a soap-opera which follows the highs and lows of a family living a life revolving around politics. The soap often borrows story ideas from real life political family, the Kennedys. The initial hour focuses largely on John Monroe, whose planned run for governor is scuttled by word that he had an affair 20 years earlier with a woman who turns out to have been a foreign spy. The revelation not only knocks him out of the race but also creates tension between the multimillionaire and his wife.
