The story
In New York City, 1953, at the height of the anti-Communist investigations of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), television screenwriter Alfred Miller is blacklisted and cannot get work.
The scripts are submitted to network producer Phil Sussman, who is pleased to have a writer not on the television blacklist.
Howard becomes such a success that Miller's two fellow screenwriter friends hire him to be their front as well.
