A year before the infamous Watergate break-in, E Howard Hunt and G Gordon Liddy are tasked with investigating the Pentagon Papers leak, gathering a team of Cubans to infiltrate whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office.

While Hunt and Dorothy entertain Liddy and his wife Fran at their exclusive country club, their kids Lisa and Saint John paint a less-than-perfect portrait of the family.

Reeling from the arrests at the Watergate, Hunt enlists Saint John's help to dispose of evidence. Liddy warns the Attorney General that the burglaries can be tied back to President and Dorothy must take control to protect her family and the Liddys.

Liddy shares his concerns about Hunt's stability with John Dean and Hunt's daughter leverages a secret notebook to convince her father to come clean in his Senate testimony. When the President resigns, lives are ruined.
