Plot:
One night in early November, 1992, the high-ranking ADM executive did something extraordinary when he confessed to FBI agent Brian Shepard (played by Scott Bakula) that ADM executives-including Whitacre himself-had routinely met with competitors to fix the price of lysine, a food additive. It was initially Whitacre's wife (played by Melanie Lynskey) who forced Whitacre to become a whistleblower by threatening to go to the FBI herself if he would not have informed the authorities of ADMs illegal price-fixing activities. That meeting marked the first time that a participant in a price fixing cartel had ever voluntarily tipped off law-enforcement officials about a scheme. After informing the FBI, he assisted Dean Paisley (portrayed by Allan Havey), Brian Shepard, and Robert Herndon (played by Joel McHale) in gathering evidence by clandestinely taping the cartels activity in business meetings in locations as far as Tokyo, Paris, Mexico City, and Hong Kong. During Whitacre's undercover work that spanned almost three years, the FBI collected hundreds of hours of video and audio tapes that documented crimes committed by executives from around the world fixing the prices of food additives in the largest price-fixing case in history at the time. The film portrays that Whitacre went far beyond the call of duty and was one of the best informants ever. At one point, the FBI needed him to tape meetings in Japan, but Whitacre was not allowed to use the government's equipment. Japan was not U.S. jurisdiction. Brian Shepard and Robert Herndon asked him to purchase his own equipment at a Radio Shack. If Whitacre was arrested in Japan for taping the meetings, there is nothing the FBI could have done to help him. Knowing that, Whitacre went ahead and purchased the tape recorder and tapes, and did exactly what he was asked to do in Japan.
In a stunning turn of events immediately following the covert portion of the case in 1995, headlines around the world reported that the whistleblower defrauded $9 million from his company at the same period of time he was secretly working for the FBI and taping his co-workers. No sooner did an army of federal agents stage a dramatic raid on ADM's Illinois headquarters, than the company hit back with damning evidence that the government's star witness had his own agenda. Whitacre became delusional with the FBI in his failed attempt to save himself. After a suicide attempt, Whitacre and the FBI learned that he was suffering from manic-depression, also known as bipolar disorder with the resulting grandiosity and embellishments in full bloom. Before the ADM price fixing trial began, the FBI learned that their star witness was suffering from mental illness.
The film focuses on Whitacre's meltdown which occurred from the pressures of working for the FBI. It goes into great detail about Whitacre's bizarre behavior and how he cracked under pressure working undercover. After working undercover for years, he became extremely manic, stopped sleeping during most nights, and was seen using a gas leaf blower on his driveway during a thunderstorm at three o'clock in the morning. A vintage bipolar symptom, Whitacre attempted suicide a few months later, but he was saved by his groundskeeper.
