Carefully setting the trap, Alexander Hale, the informant from within The Organization, gains Veil s confidence and persuades him to divulge the details and events surrounding the execution in his "Hidden Agenda" photograph. In a series of flashbacks, Veil recalls his assignment in Nicaragua, how he and another journalist, Harrison Barton, uncovered what they believed to be illegal operations by U.S. military personnel and how Veil's resemblance to rock 'n' roll icon Jim Morrison may have saved his life.
