Nevěř nikomu. Nevěř ničemu. Knižní předloha nejsledovanější premiéry Netflixu roku 2023. Peter Sutherland pracuje u FBI a jako syn zkompromitovaného agenta, který prodal tajné informace Rusům, před sebou nemá zářné vyhlídky na kariérní postup. O to víc ho překvapí, když mu personální ředitelka Bílého domu nabídne místo v jednom z nejutajovanějších oddělení, kde má během nočních směn čekat na volání na nouzovou linku. Měsíce ubíhají a Petera služba u mlčícího telefonu unavuje. Jeho úvahy nad smysluplností jeho práce ukončí hlas vyděšené dívky, která mu oznámí, že jí právě zabili strýce a tetu a že číslo na nouzovou linku dostala od svých příbuzných, od kterých má vyřídit, že Orel měl pravdu. Peter se ocitá uprostřed vyšetřování složitého případu, který zahrnuje dlouholeté spiknutí ohrožující samotnou podstatu americké demokracie. Pokud chce ochránit bezbrannou dívku, musí odhalit dobře ukrytého zrádce, který spolupracuje s Rusy. Zrádce může být kdokoli a najít cestu v bludišti lží vyžaduje víc než odvahu. Peter musí vzít spravedlnost do vlastních rukou a vydat se do boje s neviditelným nepřítelem.
