A successful ghost-writer is hired to edit and complete the memoirs of former British Prime Minister Adam Lang, now living with his wife in a luxury retreat in the USA. As he starts work, he begins to suspect that the death of his predecessor may not have been accidental, and that his unfinished manuscripts may conceal sensitive information about the CIA and Anglo-American relationships. Accusations that Lang was involved in authorising illegal treatment of suspected terrorists add to the growing tension as the ghost-writer realises his own life may be in jeopardy. An exciting political thriller from renowned director Roman Polanski.
