Non criminals find what they *think* is classified material - immediately try to blackmail the author; when that fails they try to sell it to foreign powers. All to get money for a badly aging woman's plastic surgery.

Every character is compromised and horrible. The Cohen brothers are very talented at shining a light on the mundane horror of the death of our society.

Post Script: Like the Bonfire of the Vanities pre-dating infamous hoaxes that resembled the events of the book, this predates the Lisa Page // Peter Strzok banality. If you see the movie today - it didn't copy that element, it predicted it. Strong recommend on seeing it, btw.
