Pete Garrison (Michael
Douglas) is a U.S. Secret Service agent who
saved a president's life by jumping in front of
a hail of bullets, over twenty years ago. Well-liked
and respected by his colleagues, Garrison is a career
agent who now heads the First Lady's (Kim
Basinger) detail. He lives in a high-level,
orderly world of hierarchical structure, plans,
maps, motorcades, code names, lingo and procedures.
It's a universe that makes sense, until secrets
begin to tear it apart.
Pete's fellow agent and friend, Charlie Merriweather,
hints at wanting to share critical and confidential
information. Before that can happen, however, Merriweather
is shot dead at his house in a crime that is made
to look like a botched robbery.
The investigation falls to the Secret Service's
top investigative agent, David Breckinridge (Kiefer
Sutherland), a volatile combination of by-the-book
and hothead, Garrison's protégé, and,
until recently one of Garrison's best friends. Breckinridge
follows the evidence and scrupulously tries to avoid
working from his gut. Garrison, as perhaps the greatest
protective agent in the service, often has to work
from pure instinct.
Garrison's and Breckinridge's recent falling out
was triggered by Breckindrige's mistaken belief
that Garrison was having an affair with Breckinridge's
now ex-wife. Jill Marin (Eva
Longoria), a tough, sassy and ambitious young
agent who just graduated second in her class at
the Secret Service Academy, arrives for her first
field posting. She has requested a work detail with
Breckinridge because Garrison, while leading a field
instruction exercise at the Academy told Jill that
Breckenridge was the best investigator in the entire
Service.
Together the trio begins to uncover what appears
to be an inside job to assassinate the president--a
traitor in the ranks of the Secret Service. It's
never happened in the institution's 141-year history.
Suspicion ultimately falls on Garrison, who's going
to find it extremely difficult to clear his name
because someone is framing him.
Whoever is framing Garrison knows he's vulnerable
because he's devoting considerable effort to hiding
a monumental secret. Suspected of being treasonous,
Garrison goes on the run, pursued by Breckinridge
and Marin--his own colleagues--as he tries to nail
the real mole and save the president's life. |
