Special Counsel Robert Mueller faces mounting pressure as his investigation into Russian interference threatens to topple a presidency. Working from his sparse Justice Department office, Mueller assembles a team of prosecutors to untangle a web of foreign contacts, campaign finance violations, and obstruction attempts. His deputy struggles with leaked documents while key witnesses flip or flee. The President's allies launch counterattacks through media and Congress. As indictments pile up and the White House grows desperate, Mueller must decide how far his mandate extends. The investigation becomes a battle for American democracy itself, with Mueller caught between his duty to the law and forces determined to stop him at any cost.
