Plot Synopsis

Created, written and executive produced by Alex Gregory and Peter Huyck, WHITE HOUSE PLUMBERS is a five-episode limited series that goes behind-the-scenes of the Watergate scandal as Nixon's political saboteurs, E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy, accidentally topple the presidency they were zealously trying to protect...and their families along with it. Chronicling actions on the ground, this satirical drama series begins in 1971 when the White House hires Hunt and Liddy, former CIA and FBI, respectively, to investigate the Pentagon Papers leak. After failing upward, the unlikely pair lands on the Committee to Re-Elect the President, plotting several unbelievable covert ops -- including bugging the Democratic National Committee offices at the Watergate complex. Proving that history can sometimes be stranger than fiction, WHITE HOUSE PLUMBERS sheds light on the lesser-known series of events that led to one of America's greatest political crimes. The five episodes are:

"The Beverly Hills Burglary" (Monday, May 1, 2023 at 9pm): A year before the infamous Watergate break-in, E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy are tasked with investigating the Pentagon Papers leak, gathering a team of Cubans -- all Bay of Pigs veterans -- to infiltrate whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office. Meanwhile, Hunt and his wife Dorothy get to know the Liddys.

"Please Destroy This, Huh?" (Monday, May 8, 2023 at 9pm): While Hunt and Dorothy entertain Liddy and his wife Fran at their exclusive country club, their kids Lisa and Saint John paint a less-than-perfect portrait of the family. Later, on the outs with Nixon's Attorney General John Mitchell, Hunt and Liddy get a chance to redeem themselves when a leaked memo from Dita Beard puts Mitchell and the administration in legal jeopardy.

"Don't Drink the Whiskey at the Watergate" (Monday, May 15, 2023 at 9pm): Hunt, Liddy, and the Cubans attempt to break into the DNC offices at the Watergate to plant listening devices for the White House.

"The Writer's Wife" (Monday, May 22, 2023 at 9pm): Reeling from the arrests at the Watergate, Hunt enlists Saint John's help to dispose of evidence, while Liddy warns the acting Attorney General that the burglaries can be tied back to President. Later, after returning from Paris, a livid Dorothy must take control to protect her family and the Liddys.

"True Believers" (Monday, May 29, 2023 at 9pm): Amid rumors of the White House's involvement, Liddy shares his concerns about Hunt's stability with John Dean and tries to make a deal. After Liddy, Hunt, and their accomplices are found guilty, Hunt's daughter Kevan leverages a secret notebook to convince her father to come clean in his Senate testimony, but it may be too late. When the President resigns, lives are ruined.
