The Good Shepherd is a gripping spy thriller that takes viewers into the secretive world of CIA covert operations during the Bay of Pigs. The film follows the life of Edward Wilson, an enigmatic and stoic agent who is tasked with uncovering a leak within the agency. As he delves deeper into his investigation, Wilson is haunted by a series of flashbacks, revealing his troubled past and the events that shaped him.

From the death of his father to his days as a poet at Yale and his recruitment into the OSS, Wilson's journey is filled with intrigue, affair, and sacrifice.
