Three friends, Victor, Amy and David, reunite after 10 years and uncover one of the key, hidden reasons for the war in Iraq.
Three friends - a reporter, an oil analyst and a financial executive - reunite after ten years and accidentally uncover one of the key, hidden reasons for what motivated the war in Iraq. The trio struggles to present evidence to major media that America invaded Iraq to force oil sales from the Euro back to the Dollar to preserve US global monetary supremacy. Against incredible odds, the team must face their pasts, find willing sources to corroborate the story, and survive the conspirators as they push to bring the truth to light.—Anonymous
On a dark road, three young people are in a wreck. The man in the other vehicle, a senator, is dead.
Seven hours earlier in Chicago Victor was trying to sell Nick, editor of the Chicago Post, on a new story about the death of Princess Diana. Victor was valedictorian of his class, but he has had a series of what he considers "loser" jobs, some of which will help him in what he does in this movie. Now he is a free-lance journalist.
Amy was being told some information about oil exploration was not the truth. Her executive job requires her to work 90 hours a week.
David is being told he should not be buying companies with the hope that they will fail.
Victor, David and Amy get together for the first time in 10 years. Then the events that started the movie are repeated.
David was drinking, so he wants to leave so he won't get in trouble. Amy calls 911. The senator had a red envelope next to him, and someone picks it up. . A cop shows up and everyone is questioned back at the station. Apparently they won't get in trouble because they convince the cop that a story which is not true is the truth. And the senator was already dead. Meanwhile, Evelyn shows up saying the senator was coming to meet with her.
Inside the red envelope are some notes and the message "Among thieves" (a Biblical reference that leads to clues). Victor makes the discovery that Iraq announced in 2000 that it would buy oil using euros, not dollars. This was not well known but would have been devastating for the United States. It is the reason for the Iraq War.
The group begins investigating and discover more amazing news. Meanwhile, they are being followed by people who want to kill them. John Waters was a reporter investigating the story, and he is dead.
