Synopsis:

Edward Wilson understands the value of secrecy--as both discretion and a commitment to honor have been embedded solidly in him since childhood. As an eager, optimistic student at Yale, he is recruited to join the secret society Skull and Bones, a brotherhood and breeding ground for future world leaders. Wilson's acute mind, spotless reputation and sincere belief in American values render him a prime candidate for a career in intelligence, and soon he is recruited to work for the O.S.S. (the precursor to the C.I.A.) during WWII. As one of the covert founders of the C.I.A., and working in the heart of an organization where duplicity is required and nothing is taken at face value, Wilson's idealism is steadily eroded by a growing suspicious nature, reflective of a world now settling into the long paranoia of the Cold War. As his methods are adopted as standard operating procedure, Wilson develops into one of the Agency's veteran operatives, all the while combating his K.G.B. counterpart. However, his steely dedication to his country comes at an ever-increasing price. Not even his wife, Clover, nor his beloved son can divert Wilson from a path that will force him to sacrifice everything in pursuit of this job.
