The Sympathizer

With the fall of Saigon imminent, the Captain juggles the communist party, the South Vietnamese army, his CIA handler, and his conscience.

As he adjusts to life in Los Angeles, the Captain is forced to find someone to implicate when the General begins to suspect a mole.

The Captain and Bon craft a plan to quell the General's anxieties. Later, the Captain meets the Auteur, who wants to make a film about war.

As a reluctant consultant on a Hollywood film, the Captain navigates the egos and personalities of an increasingly chaotic production.

After a lengthy hospital stay, the Captain finds his life in disarray and attempts to use a windfall to make amends for past misdeeds. Meanwhile, Lana is working a new gig away from her parents, Ms. Mori is romantically involved with a familiar face, and the General has concocted a plan to reclaim his homeland.

Convinced that the General’s plan is doomed to fail, the Captain makes it his mission to trace the General’s funding and ingratiates himself with the Congressman. His desperation grows as he searches for ways to expose the military operation and to achieve his ultimate goal: to save Bon.
