In 2003 a GCHQ worker realises the Americans and British are bullying UN nations into approving the Iraq War, and risks her own life when the story breaks to the Press.
Accessibly told present-day thriller about still relevant issues, in the manner of Defence of the Realm and All the President's Men. The star is as usual more attractive than her real-life counterpart, but looks suitably concerned and paranoid as the interweaving drama develops.
