The story

A disgraced Richard Nixon is restlessly pacing in the study of his Saddle River, New Jersey mansion in the early 1980s. Armed with a loaded revolver, a bottle of Scotch whisky and a running tape recorder, while surrounded by closed-circuit television cameras, he spends the next ninety minutes in a long monologue recalling with rage, suspicion, sadness, and disappointment, throughout his controversial life and career. It often veers into tangents and concerns his family, the people who made him powerful or who took him out of power.
