State of Play

Американский журналист Маккэффри расследует серию жестоких убийств. Одной из жертв становится любовница преуспевающего конгрессмена Коллинза, давнего друга Маккэффри. Улики открывают перед журналистом цепочку чудовищных заговоров, ведущих в высшие политические круги страны. Люди, с которыми ему придется иметь дело, ворочают миллиардами долларов и не привыкли, когда в их дела вмешиваются посторонние.

One night, a thief fleeing through Georgetown (Washington, D.C.) in Washington, D.C., is shot by a man carrying a briefcase. A deliveryman who witnesses the incident is also shot by the killer and is left in a coma. The following morning, a young woman is killed by a Washington Metro train in what seems to be suicide. Congressman Stephen Collins is distraught to hear that the woman was Sonia Baker, a researcher on his staff. Collins, who has military experience, is leading an investigation into PointCorp, a private military company with controversial operations involving mercenary. Collins tells his college roommate and old friend Cal McAffrey, an investigative reporter, that he had been having an affair with Sonia and that she had sent him a cheerful video message on the morning of her death, which he says is inconsistent and unusual behavior for someone about to commit suicide.

Kongresmen Stephen Collins on oma partei tulevik: kiiret karjääri teinud noor ja lugupeetud poliitik, kes juhatab komiteed, mille ülesandeks kaitsekulutuste jälgimine. Väga heaks loetakse ka Collinsi väljavaateid lähenevatel presidendivalmistel. Kuni tema assistent/armuke jõhkralt tapetakse ning pinnale kerkib hulk maetud saladusi. Uuriv reporter Cal McCaffrey on Collinsi vana sõber. Samas allub ta halastamatule toimetajale Cameronile, kelle arvates ei ole tõelisel ajakirjanikul ainsatki sõpra, vaid ainult allikad. Püüdes koos oma partneri Dellaga kindlaks teha tapja isikut, jõuab McCaffrey välja vandenõuni, mis ähvardab raputada riigi võimustruktuure. Selgeks saab ka hirmutav tõde: kui kaalul on miljardid dollarid, ei ole kellegi väärikus ega elu väljaspool ohtu.
