A tipster (Deborah Kara Unger) hires a former CIA agent-turned-talk-show host named Jack Begosian (Andy Garcia) to expose the role her employers played in massacring a South American village, and then subsequently covering up the atrocity. Although Jack succeeds in finding witnesses who are willing to testify against the powerful corporation, the political firestorm he stokes during the course of his investigation soon threatens to consume everyone involved.
