"Patriot" is a darkly comedic spy drama that follows intelligence officer John Tavner, portrayed by Michael Dorman, as he assumes a non-official cover as a mid-level employee at a Milwaukee industrial piping firm to prevent Iran from going nuclear. Balancing his covert mission with the mundanity of corporate life, John faces a series of increasingly absurd and dangerous challenges. The series, created by Steven Conrad, also features performances by Kurtwood Smith and Terry O'Quinn.
