For two years, the United States has been shaken by a scandal called the Watergate scandal. What was initially considered an amateur burglary should turn out to be a work of President Nixon’s men.
Two stubborn reporters at the Washington Post, a persistent prosecutor and one of Nixon’s own men decide to tell the truth. In prime time, before the eyes of the entire American people, the image of the president will change completely and lead to Richard Nixon, so far the only American president, resigning prematurely. This is a story about a president who does everything to maintain his power and who is surrounded by men who are prepared to cross all borders for his sake.
