Edward Wilson (Matt Damon) is a man who appreciates secrecy and discretion, which were instilled in him since his childhood. A student thirsty for knowledge at Yale, he is recruited in 1939 to join the secret society Skull & Bones. Wilson’s sharp mind, unblemished reputation, and sincere belief in American values make him a prime candidate for a career in espionage. He is then recruited to work in the OSS, the precursor to the CIA, during World War II. This decision will alter his life, as well as the geopolitical map of our times, as Wilson and his fellow secret club members create the most powerful secret agency in the world.
