In 2017, a routine network television investigation led to a story only whispered about: one of Hollywood's most power­ful producers was a predator, protected by fear, wealth and a conspiracy of silence. As Ronan Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives --- from high-priced lawyers to elite war-hardened spies --- mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, threatening his career, following his every move, and weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family.
