Self-destructive CIA agent Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) begins to suspect that veteran U.S. Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis), a celebrated war hero who was once held as a prisoner by al-Qaeda, may in fact be a terrorist sleeper agent in the critically-acclaimed television drama "Homeland". Season one of "Homeland" begins with Agent Mathison investigating suspicions that Sergeant Brody was turned against his own government by the notorious terrorist faction, and investigating an alleged extremist plot with ties to prominent al-Qaeda member Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban). Later, a mosque shooting plunges Carrie's investigation into chaos, Brody considers a run at politics, and Carrie's skeptical boss Saul (Mandy Patinkin) starts to suspect that her case has merit.
