Charlie Wilson is a womanising, alcoholic, coke-snorting congressman from Texas. But behind the decadent exterior lies an astute political mind, which he puts to helping the people of Afghanistan in the early 1980s when they have just been brutally invaded by the Soviet Union.

Three women detectives, chosen for their looks, characters, toughness, are members of one of the best detective agencies, known as "Charlie's Angels". They solve the toughest cases, using all their talents and capacities to help their clients. Charlie's private investigation company is contacted by Eric Knox, a programmer, owner of Knox Technologies. He has created a unique and revolutionary voice-recognition software.
