Synopsis: Have you ever wondered what happened to the missing 18 ½ minutes of the Watergate tapes? In this 1970s-era Watergate conspiracy thriller/dark comedy, a White House transcriber stumbles across the tape and decides it’s her civic duty to share the classified information with a reporter. Directed by Dan Mirvish, award-winning director and co-founder of Slamdance, what starts as a hush hush meeting about the tape quickly gets out of hand. After a series of unfortunate mishaps, misunderstandings, and interactions with quirky and surprising characters, time is running out for the unlikely duo as someone, or someones, might be onto them. Veteran voice-over actor Bruce Campbell stands in for President Richard Nixon in this fast-paced, quick-talking, political thriller, where one night at a hotel might be their last. A film about government secrets that resonates with the current political climate, and will stay relevant for years to come.
