Robert 'Bob' King is a TV reporter with an international reputation, home from the US after years spent covering major conflicts. John is an academic who has written a book exposing the lies of Bob's career and has come to confront him about them. It's a conflict of style as well as substance: the rich, physically imposing Bob and the nerdy, sweating John. At heart, the film is about ruthlessness, specifically the point at which someone trades honesty for personal gain.
