這部對於頭條議題有特殊觀點的節目，要一針見血地提出美國的國安疑慮。從2001年開始，反情報活動的支出有所轉變，就代表美國不再關注間諜遊戲；而俄國則是持續投入大量資源，來發展他們的間諜軍團。這部紀錄片要密切拍攝前FBI特務丹尼斯法蘭克斯，追蹤敵人「潛伏者」的情況；這群人有策略性的被安置在全美各地，而丹尼斯要設局，讓他們的身分曝光。
The special looks beyond the headlines and goes into the heart of our country to ask the question, is America safe? Beginning in 2001, a shift in counter-intelligence spending meant that the United States took its eye off the spy game while Russia continued to dedicate vast resources to developing their army of spies. The documentary follows former FBI Special Agent Dennis Franks as he tracks down enemy "sleepers" who have been strategically placed throughout America, and builds a case to expose them.
