Hollywood agent Libby Glaser (Swoosie Kurtz) is surprised when her movie-star mother Vera King (Janet Leigh) refuses to appear at an awards dinner honoring former Hollywood Blacklist victim Clive Hathaway (Joseph Campanella)--especially since Hathaway had been the best friend of Libby's late father, fellow blacklistee Budd Glaser. In confidence, Vera reveals to Libby that Hathaway was the one who'd named her father as a Communist before the HUAC, and that her dad had committed suicide as a result. Now driven by hatred, Libby intends to expose Hathaway as an informer during the ceremony, using an FBI file supplied by none other than Heavenly caseworker Monica (Roma Downey)--who, despite the odds against her, must somehow persuade Libby to forgive the man who betrayed her father.
