It's based on a book of the same name.

The White House Plumbers were a secret unit in the Nixon Administration, that led to Watergate and the downfall of Richard Nixon.

Here's the synopsis from HBO: "Chronicling actions on the ground, this satirical drama begins in 1971 when the White House hires Hunt and Liddy, former CIA and FBI, respectively, to investigate the Pentagon Papers leak. After failing upward, the unlikely pair lands on the Committee to Re-Elect the President, plotting several unbelievable covert ops – including bugging the Democratic National Committee offices at the Watergate complex.
