Stephen Meyers (Ryan Gosling) is the Junior Campaign Manager for Mike Morris (George Clooney), Governor of Pennsylvania and a Democratic presidential candidate, competing against Arkansas Senator Ted Pullman (Michael Mantell). Meyers and Senior Campaign Manager Paul Zara (Philip Seymour Hoffman) are attempting to enlist Ohio's support for Morris, which would nearly guarantee his nomination.

After a debate, Meyers is approached by rival Campaign Manager Tom Duffy (Paul Giamatti). Meyers calls Zara, who doesn't pick up. Meyers leaves a message that something is important. Meyers meets with Duffy, and Duffy offers him a position in Senator Pullman's campaign. Meyers refuses, and asserts that he believes in Morris' political views. Duffy tells Meyers that his optimism won't last, and that Morris will eventually be cynical and corrupt like the other candidates. Zara calls Meyers back and asks what was important but Meyers conceals his meeting with Duffy.
Meyers starts a sexual relationship with Molly Stearns (Evan Rachel Wood), an intern for Morris' campaign and daughter of Jack Stearns, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee. One night, Meyers discovers that Morris is trying to call Molly. She and Morris had a brief sexual liaison, at a campaign stop in Iowa several weeks previously, and Molly is pregnant with Morris' baby. Meyers helps her raise money for an abortion and drives her to the clinic.

Meyers tells Zara that he met with Duffy, who told Meyers that Senator Pullman intended to guarantee his victory by offering Senator Thompson (Jeffrey Wright), whose endorsement will be vital to the eventual nominee, the position of Secretary of State.

Ida, (Marisa Tomei), Meyers' friend and a reporter for the New York Times, reveals that an anonymous source leaked his encounter with Duffy to her and that she will publish unless Zara gives her all of the information about his meeting with Senator Thompson.

Meyers comes to Zara for help. Zara reveals that he leaked the meeting to Ida and fires Meyers from the campaign for showing a "lack of loyalty" in meeting with Duffy.
Meyers offers his services to Duffy but Duffy doesn't want to hire Meyers. In a Machiavellian scheme, Duffy admits he met with Meyers in order to induce Meyers to tell Zara about the meeting. Duffy correctly predicted that this would lead Zara (in his paranoia) to remove Meyers from Morris' campaign, thus weakening Morris.
Meanwhile, Molly learns that Meyers has been fired and, fearing that he will use her secret to get revenge on Morris, commits suicide. Meyers feels guilty about this, as he did intend to expose Morris' affair to Duffy in exchange for a job on Senator Pullman's campaign.

Meyers later confronts Morris and tells him that he will expose the affair with Molly if Morris doesn't fire Zara, hire Meyers to take Zara's place as Senior Campaign Manager and offer Senator Thompson the cabinet position in exchange for Thompson's support. Morris relents and Zara compliments Meyers on using his own secrets to his advantage.
Now Senior Campaign Manager, Meyers attends a press conference organized by Ida. He suddenly realizes that Duffy was right, and he has betrayed everything he believed in for success and revenge. The movie ends abruptly as he sullenly takes his seat.
