The exciting spy thriller tells the story of Christopher Boyce (Timothy Hutton) and Daulto Lee (Sean Penn), two young American men from wealthy families who were convicted of selling government secrets to the Soviet Union in 1977. Boyce, the son of a former FBI agent (Pat Hingle), works for the CIA in a message-routing center. When the idealistic man discovers that the CIA also interferes in the internal affairs of Australia, he becomes disillusioned with the government and decides to repay it by supplying classified information to the Soviets. With the help of his shallow childhood friend, reckless drug addict and dealer Daulton Lee (Sean Penn), Chris becomes involved with espionage which has disastrous consequences for him and his family.
