Synopsis

They're the best of friends. Soon, they'll be the worst of enemies. John Cusack (America's Sweethearts, Say Anything) and James Spader (sex, lies and videotape, Pretty In Pink) star in this dramatic, absorbing story of two friends who move from law school to Washington's corridors of power. Cusack plays Peter, a lower-class go-getter who climbs to the position of congressman by betraying everyone who ever trusted him, including his idealistic blue-blooded pal Tim (Spader). Tim, of course, would never cross a friend. Unless it was to avenge his own betrayal...
