A successful labor lawyer accidentally receives key evidence related to the murder of a congressman, evidence that implicates officials within the National Security Agency. Unaware of what he possesses, he suddenly finds himself the target of a ruthless team of NSA agents who use the full arsenal of the modern surveillance state to discredit, frame, and hunt him. He must team up with a paranoid former intelligence operative to uncover the truth and clear his name.
