Capturing the turbulence of Southeast D.C. and the opulence of Georgetown, Knight & Day richly evokes the contrast between the mean streets of Washington and the corridors of power on Capitol Hill. Jane Day is a thoroughly liberated and thoroughly liberal woman, a very ambitious reporter for The Washington Post. Jerry Knight is the Night Talker, the opinionated right-wing host of America's most popular all-night radio talk show. When a prominent environmentalist is murdered, the two conflicting media personalities chase after the scoop of the century, racing against a deadline and each other to solve a mystery that goes straight to the Hill.
