The plot: Lobbyist Elizabeth Sloane (Jessica Chastain) has
been brought before a congressional hearing under suspicion of violating U.S.
Senate ethics law. She recalls the events of the last three months, specifically
her involvement in getting a gun control bill passed into congress and the
efforts of her and her team to secure the votes. However, in the process of
trying to win the battle, her determination has led her to increasingly dubious
choices that may show her to be the bigger threat than the people she’s
fighting against.
