  • In the wake of the Watergate break-in, Texas Congressman Wright Patman follows a money trail that seems to lead to the White House; what follows is an extraordinary game of political cat and mouse.

  • A plane goes down in Chicago, intensifying suspicions of conspiracy in the Watergate case; mainstream journalists and intrepid outsiders pursue the truth through Nixon's bid for reelection.

  • The first televised soap opera debuts but it's Congressional hearings; as the public is on the edge of their seats, new evidence in the Watergate case emerges and conservative North Carolina Senator Sam Ervin is the unlikely star.

  • Republicans and Democrats struggle to work together under growing public pressure while an obscure White House bureaucrat named Alexander Butterfield drops a bombshell.
