The story

David Merrill, a successful director in 1950s Hollywood, returns from film-location scouting abroad to find that a rising tide of McCarthyism and the Red Scare is creating havoc among his colleagues in the film industry. His friend Larry Nolan is forced to name to the FBI and Congressional Oversight Committee the many people in Hollywood who are potentially associated with the communist movement. Nolan names several friends and colleagues such as Merrill as collaborators.
