Breach is a drama about an FBI traitor who carried out what many historians refer to as the most notable national security breach in U.S.history. A key member of the FBI's elite Soviet Analytical Unit, Robert Hanssen would, for 15 years beginning in 1985, sell thousands of pages of classified documents to the Soviets. Hanssen was eventually transferred to a newly created position at the FBI's Washington headquarters and assigned the task of guarding his country's most sensitive secrets. It was while working in this capacity that a young agent named Eric O'Neill was assigned the task of keeping tabs on Hanssen by suspicious higher-ups. This is the story of how O'Neill went on to become a key member in his apprehension.
