Com a tarefa de investigar o vazamento de papéis do Pentágono, E. Howard Hunt e G. Gordon Liddy embarcam em uma operação secreta.

Quando um memorando vazado de Dita Beard coloca o Procurador-Geral John Mitchell em risco legal, Liddy e Hunt têm uma chance de redenção.

Hunt, Liddy, and the Cubans attempt to break into the DNC offices at the Watergate to plant listening devices for the White House.

Reeling from the arrests at the Watergate, Hunt enlists Saint John’s help to dispose of evidence, while Liddy warns the acting Attorney General that the burglaries can be tied back to President. Later, after returning from Paris, a livid Dorothy must take control to protect her family and the Liddys.

Amid rumors of the White House’s involvement, Liddy shares his concerns about Hunt’s stability with John Dean and tries to make a deal. After Liddy, Hunt, and their accomplices are found guilty, Hunt’s daughter Kevan leverages a secret notebook to convince her father to come clean in his Senate testimony, but it may be too late. When the President resigns, lives are ruined.
