Casualties of the State chronicles men dedicated to serving their country but facing difficult choices after discovering political elites are profiting from war at the expense of American lives.
Washington, D.C. in the early 21st century reminds many Americans of their nation's capital during the turbulent 1960s. The National Mall is crowded, not with tourists, but instead thousands protesting a ramp up to a new American war in the Middle East, this time against Iran. Another striking similarity to the 1960s is the deaths of prominent government officials.
FBI Special Agents Jonathan Seeger and Phillip Zoller investigate the death of the deputy secretary of defense. Wary of interference from conflicting interests in the Administration, especially the former Vice-President, they hesitate to accept the aid of a brilliant young analyst from the National Security Agency, Lucien Archer. He quickly proves his worth as the three uncover disturbing facts behind the deaths of several high-level officials. They suspect a far-reaching conspiracy.
More than a political thriller, Casualties of the State is a drama about colleagues and friends, husbands and wives, and parents and children. It explores truths about human nature, love and loss, as the characters begin to question everything they thought they knew.
