In 2003, Maya, a young U.S. Central Intelligence Agency officer, has spent her entire brief career, since graduating from college and being recruited for the agency, focused solely on gathering intelligence related to Osama bin Laden, leader of al-Qaeda, following the terrorist organization's attack on the United States in 2001. She is reassigned to the U.S. embassy in Pakistan to work with a fellow officer, Dan. During the first months of her assignment, Maya often accompanies Dan to a black site for his continuing interrogation of Ammar al-Baluchi, a detainee with suspected links to several of the hijackers in the September 11 attacks. Dan subjects the detainee to approved interrogation techniques, i.e., stress positions, hooding, subjection to deafening noise, sleep deprivation, waterboarding, and humiliation. After failing to get al-Baluchi to give up information on an attack in Saudi Arabia, he and Maya eventually trick Ammar into divulging that an old acquaintance, who is using the alias Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti, is working as a personal courier for bin Laden. Other detainees corroborate this, with some claiming Abu Ahmed delivers messages between bin Laden and a man known as Abu Faraj al-Libbi. In 2005, Abu Faraj is apprehended by the CIA and local police in Pakistan. Maya is allowed to interrogate him, but he continues to deny knowing a courier with such a name. Maya interprets this as an attempt by Faraj to conceal the importance of Abu Ahmed.

Après les attentats du 11 septembre 2001, la CIA se lance dans la guerre contre le terrorisme en pratiquant notamment des interrogatoires brutaux voire sadiques sur les détenus arrêtés et emprisonnés. Membre importante du Parti démocrate, la sénatrice Dianne Feinstein charge l'un de ses hommes, Daniel J. Jones, de mener une enquête sur leurs méthodes douteuses et immorales, dissimulées au peuple américain. Son investigation explosive révèle leur technique d'interrogatoire renforcée protégée et adoubée par le gouvernement américain, qui donna leur soutien et leur accord à la CIA pour qu'elle torture les suspects afin de leur soutirer des informations capitales. Après plusieurs années de recherches prouvant l'existence de ces pratiques cruelles passées sous silence, Jones rédige un rapport d'environ 500 pages, commandé par la United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, mais sa publication s'avère plus compliquée que prévu. En effet, la Maison-Blanche et la CIA mettent tout en œuvre pour étouffer les révélations de son enquête.
