The Enemy Within (2024)

THE ENEMY WITHIN, a 3-episode true crime, psychological docu-thriller, dives into the mind of one of the most controversial CEO’s of all time.

Patrick Byrne, the founder/CEO of Overstock.com, rose to the height of financial success and was once heralded as a Wall Street prophet and the “Bitcoin Messiah” by Wired Magazine. However, in 2019, Byrne seemingly slipped into madness— he quit his position as Overstock CEO and claimed he was a government asset, being used by the “deep state” in a game of domestic espionage.

Spinning tales of trysts with an alleged Russian spy, FBI initiated bribes against presidential candidates, and failed attempts to alert the powers that be to the cancer metastasizing throughout the halls of American power-- Byrne eventually finds himself sneaking into the Oval Office during the last days of the Trump Presidency-- and unwittingly becomes embroiled in the darkest political day in recent American history—January 6, 2021.

Inspired by the Academy Award winning documentary THE FOG OF WAR by Erroll Morris, THE ENEMY WITHIN asks the question-- are there dark forces within government using people like Patrick Byrne to control world events? Or has our culture become a place so ripe for conspiracy that we become a threat to society-- our own worst enemy?
