John Nixon was the first CIA officer to interrogate Saddam Hussein following his capture in December 2003. Set against the backdrop of one of the most consequential military operations in recent history, the series explores the high-stakes exchanges between Nixon and Hussein.

As Nixon seeks answers from the former Iraqi leader in his search for weapons of mass destruction, he is forced to confront the far-reaching consequences of the U.S. invasion of Iraq and the ramifications that would reverberate around the world for decades to come.

Inspired by the memoir "Debriefing the President" by CIA Analyst John Nixon.
