It's September 10, 2006 in the city of Malibu, California.

Tall and tan, 58-year-old Mike Citric is enjoying a well-earned break at his beach side holiday home.

Mike is a renowned public relations fixer whose nickname is the Prince of PR.

She's become the face of a scandal that many in the media are calling Spygate.

Recently, HP was forced to disclose to the SEC details about its potentially illegal investigation into boardroom leaks.

Spy operation targeted HP board members, as well as nine different journalists.
