How could a U.S. President, recognised as one of the most accomplished international statesmen in world history allow the presidency to be bought to it's knees by such a seemingly insignificant incident. In 1974, President Richard Nixon, pressured by public scrutiny, ordered a federal investigation of the Watergate scandal. The ordeal blew open a covert operation and cover-up which eventually led to charges bought against members of the Nixon administration for obstructing justice, including allegations against the President.

This compelling drama traces the activities of Nixon's final days in the office as he and his aids try desperately to repair the damages and clear up all allegations charged. But due to congress' successful investigation which directly implicated Nixon in the cover-up, the feat of impeachment forces him to resign. On the night before his resignation, the fallen president asks a stunned Henry Kissinger, his secretary of state, to kneel down beside him and pray. Struggling with mental anguish and helplessness, he knew there was no chance to escape his ultimate fate.
