Daniel Jones, lead investigator for the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee, spends years combing through thousands of classified documents on the CIA's detention and interrogation program after 9/11. What he uncovers is a system of systematic, brutal and ineffective torture that the agency is determined to conceal and justify. Facing political pressure, bureaucratic obstacles and those who would rather the truth never came to light, Jones wages a lonely battle to make the report public. A sober, restrained procedural drama built on sharp dialogue and a meticulous reconstruction of an uncomfortable episode in recent American history.
