An all new TV series "State of Affairs" is set to air on Nov 17, 2014. The show is about a CIA officer who works directly under the President. Her job is to brief the President of the U.S. about the most critical threats facing the nation. [Spoiler Alert]

Katherine Heigl plays the role of a determined CIA agent, Charlie Tucker, who enjoys a close relationship with the President of the U.S. The President's son, who is also Charlie's fiancé, has been killed and the two women will do everything they can to bring those responsible to justice.

The main job of Charlie Tucker in "State of Affairs" is to head a team of people who put together a book that has a list of 10 critical threats to the U.S. The team also briefs other agencies in the U.S. like the FBI and the Justice Department. Charlie has been handpicked by the president for the role.

The close relationship that Charlie has with the President also means that she can be bolder to take some decisions that may actually fall in the policy making domain. This is something that she is not authorized to do and will also get her into trouble.

In one of the episodes of "State of Affairs" Charlie will get the opportunity to relay actionable intelligence about a terrorist target to the President. She chooses not to share this information with the hope of killing the whole network of the terrorists in the future. Her decision however does not sit well with some of the decision makers in Washington.

Charlie Tucker is described as a rebel, defiant, bold and a patriot. She has the support and loyalty of her team. But it is not all about work for the character and she likes to have fun. She works for a more serious President, played by Alfre Woodard.

"State of Affairs" has been created by Joe Carnahan, who is also the executive producer of the show. Joe Carnahan is known for being the director and executive producer of some of the episodes of the hit TV series "The Blacklist." With the star cast of Katherine Heigl and Alfre Woodard, expectations are high on his new project.
