MI5 analyst Johnny Worricker (Bill Nighy) receives from his boss and his friend since they studied at Cambridge, Director General of MI5, Benedict Baron (Sir Michael Gambon), a top secret report also distributed to Jill Tankard (Judy Davis), and to Home Secretary Anthea Catcheside (Saskia Reeves). They have an internal meeting and Johnny highlights that on page eight, there is information that Prime Minister Alec Beasley (Ralph Fiennes) knows that the U.S. Government is torturing prisoners in prisons around the world. Baron cannot disclose his source, but if the information is correct, the Prime Minister has not informed the MI5. Meanwhile, Johnny befriends his next door neighbor, political activist Nancy Pierpan (Rachel Weisz), whose brother was murdered by the Israeli Army holding a white flag. When Baron dies of heart attack at home with his wife, Johnny suspects that the death of his friend may not have been an accident. He also finds the file on Nancy's brother. Now, Johnny has to decide his next move.
