The Auditors

24 meets The Office.

Neil Chase defied DOGE — and paid the price. The kindest, friendliest, most earnest young auditor in the Internal Revenue Service wouldn’t break the law for a techbro’s lulz. Now he’s been banished to the adjunct field office in Minot, N.D., in the strip mall off the state road next to the Chinese restaurant and the axe-throwing bar, amid a clutch of suspicious new coworkers who seem to inexplicably hate his guts.

As it happens, DOGE sent Neil to the wrong office. Neil’s colleagues aren’t pencil-pushers or number-crunchers. Of life's two certainties, their experiences hew closer to death than taxes. And when their top-secret tasks collide suddenly with Neil’s workaday life, he’ll have to muster all his courage and ingenuity to prove he can fit in with their very particular set of skills.
