Political thriller Patriot follows the complicated life of intelligence officer John Tavner (Australian newcomer Michael Dorman, Wonderland). His latest assignment is to prevent Iran from going nuclear, requiring him to forgo all safety nets and assume a perilous non-official cover – that of a mid-level employee at a Midwestern industrial piping firm. A bout with PTSD, the Federal government’s incompetence, and the intricacies of keeping a day job in the “front” industrial piping company, cause a barrage of ever-escalating fiascos that jeopardize Tavner’s mission.
Season two follows John as he works to salvage a deteriorating covert mission to rescue his brother, while their father orders a failsafe: to assassinate the Iranian presidential candidate. Meanwhile, John’s team of allies has grown, but so has his adversaries, and his efforts to navigate these forces come at a heavy cost.
