Three years after the murder of Senator Hammond, a journalist tells Warren Beatty that almost half of the people present at the time of the assassination have died in accidents or from seemingly natural causes since. After the death of the informant, Beatty decides to investigate himself. He'll finally discover that the Parallax organization appears to be the center of a secret conspiracy against politicians who are not, let's say, politically correct.
