All characters are based on real historical figures who played a prominent role in the Watergate scandal. Their portrayal here is fictional - but the evidence presented by the defense is based on real documents. And every piece of evidence has been corroborated -- absolutely -- to be true. That's our pact with the audience.
SETTING - August 8, 1974
The Watergate burglars were convicted a year and a half ago, in Jan. of 1973. Since then, many of the President's men have been indicted or convicted. Tonight, in a nationwide address from the Oval Office, President Richard Milhous Nixon is expected to announce his resignation.
