Facing decades in prison for his role in the CIA's covert Central American operations, Gary's growing resentment leads him to serve as a star witness in the Senate's investigation of the Iran-Contra scandal. But will the whistleblowing testimony of a lifelong felon be enough to threaten the legacy of President Ronald Reagan?

After faking his own death, Gary trades his quiet Arkansas life for a fresh start in Miami, but is soon caught up in a whirlwind of greed, deception, and dealings with Pablo Escobar. But everything changes when the CIA recruits Gary in a secret, illegal war he believes is being conducted at the highest levels of the U.S. Government.
