The Chosen

With a turbulent Eastern Europe reeling from the fall of the Soviet Union, several countries find themselves attempting recovery in the aftermath. Belarus, as one of those nations, elects its first democratic president and a bright future seems on the horizon. But it’s short-lived, when a friendship is betrayed, and the new nation falls back into a civil war that claims the lives of both the President and his First Lady. All that is left of the resistance are his twin infant siblings, smuggled out of the country by an American intelligence officer. When the series begins, the twins have chosen different paths as adults and find themselves being pulled by outside forces towards a singular destiny.
