This film is based on the novel "The Very Confidential: The President, the CIA Director, and the Agents" by Stansfield Turner, who served as the Director of the CIA from 1977 to 1981. Osbourne (John Malkovich) is a senior analyst at the CIA who is discharged due to his drinking problem. Dejected, Osbourne returns home only to feel unappreciated by his wife. His wife Katie (Tilda Swinton) is a cold professional doctor who is having an affair with Harry (George Clooney) from the Treasury, enjoying their time together on a boat. Osbourne vows to write an autobiography to reveal the CIA's top secrets, but it is mistakenly taken by Katie, who is intent on divorcing him, to document her financial reports, and later accidentally left at the gym. It is picked up by the gym's naive employee Linda (Frances McDormand) and somewhat dim-witted trainer Chad (Brad Pitt). With financial troubles for cosmetic surgery, Linda gets an idea and decides to blackmail. The fate of this group of people changes because of this disc.
