Ronan's queries led him to find that this story had a number of shadowy figures that included high-priced lawyers, spies, campaigns of intimidation towards him as well as threats to his own career, being followed and even having his own life weaponized. The level of corruption that he was able to uncover went from Hollywood, Washington and beyond.

He examines how these actions showcase how wealthy and connected men can threaten journalists, avoid accountability as well as silence victims' abuse.
