O'Neill is a tech specialist with aspirations to be an agent who is selected by Kate Burroughs (Laura Linney) for a very unique task. He is to work with the long established Robert Hanssen (Chris Cooper) on devising new ways to keep their systems…
How one man betrayed the security of a nation.
Eric O'Neill, a low-level surveillance expert with the FBI, believes he is accomplishing his dream of becoming a full-fledged agent, with his unexpected promotion and assignment to clerk for Robert Hanssen, a renowned senior agent with 25 years in the FBI.

Determined to draw the suspected double-agent out of deep cover, O'Neill finds himself in a lethal game of spy vs. spy, where nothing is as it seems.
