Sam Ellis (Patrick Wilson) is a man on the rise – a hot-shot prosecutor on the cusp of a bright future. When an intern (Dianna Agron) at the office becomes infatuated with him, Sam unwisely attempts to quiet his desires by seeing a high class escort – only to discover that the experience is more fulfilling and exhilarating than he could have imagined. A second appointment with an escort soon follows, and a third, sending his once idyllic life spiraling out of control. In the midst of wrestling with his demons, he suddenly finds himself being groomed to run for Attorney General – thrusting him into the public spotlight, and forcing him to take increasingly dangerous measures to keep the press, the law and his wife (Lena Headey) off his trail.

Such a nicely hypocritical movie that is not able to show anything that would be at least a little controversial. Yes, it's about how it's possible to live at the expense of family, how it's possible to destroy a marriage, and here a person is demonized, but basically in such a way that it's actually better and certain values are not that important. Well, everyone can decide for themselves how important they are.
