Nick Brody (Damian Lewis) a U.S. soldier who had been missing and presumed dead for nine years, was a set-up and may be connected to an al-Qaeda plot to be carried out on American soil. Baccarin plays the role of Jessica Brody, Brody's (Lewis) intrepid and complicated wife. HOMELAND premieres October 2, at 10 p.m. ET/PT only on SHOWTIME
