Edward Wilson, the only witness to
his father's suicide and member of the Skull and Bones Society while a student
at Yale, is a morally upright young man who values honor and discretion,
qualities that help him to be recruited for a career in the newly founded Office
of Strategic Services. While working there, his ideals gradually turn to
suspicion influenced by the Cold War paranoia present within the office.
Eventually, he becomes an influential veteran operative, while his distrust of
everyone around him increases to no end. His dedication to his work does not
come without a price though, leading him to sacrifice his ideals and eventually
his family.
