Written by Matthew Carnahan, the Americanized adaptation of the acclaimed British miniseries is about two friends, one a member of Parliament and the other a journalist. Crowe will play a politico-turned-journalist who spearheads his newspaper's investigation into a killing that leads to a fast-rising pol (Affleck). The journalist faces two conflicts: He once ran campaigns for the pol and was his confidant, and the journo develops a romance with the pol's estranged wife (Wright Penn).
