In the late 1950s it seemed everyone tuned in to watch the game show "Twenty-One". Their favorite contestant was Charles Van Doren (Ralph Fiennes) an Ivy League English professor from a wealthy family. Then Herbie Stempel (John Turturro) challenged his winning streak with his own wits and lost. But Herbie's suspicions that he was cheated by the producers of the show giving the right answers to Charles were supported by Dick Goodwin (Rob Morrow), a government investigator. Dick was assigned to investigate the show for possible fraud and took Herbie's complaints seriously. The Van Doren family, used to being in the spotlight but not because of scandal, struggles with Charles to represent the family with integrity.
