 The
plot is similar to that of
the original 6-part program,
retaining several main
characters, but condensing
and changing certain aspects
to fit the two-hour format.
The film is set in
Washington, D.C. and tells
of Stephen Collins
(Affleck), a fast-rising
United States Congressman
with ambitions to become his
party's presidential
candidate. This goal is
threatened after his
mistress (Maria Thayer), a
former research assistant,
is found dead in suspicious
circumstances, while
right-wing opponents to
Collins' campaign for social
reform attempt to use the
scandal to kill his
political career. During a
probe into a series of
seemingly unrelated murders,
Cal McAffrey (Crowe), an
investigative journalist and
Collins' former campaign
manager, finds himself
tasked with solving the
case, becoming romantically
involved with the
Congressman's estranged wife
(Wright Penn) in the
process. |
