Crazy As A Loon is a gripping proof of concept for the TV series Committed, centered on one American family simply trying to exist during the Lavender Scare in 1953 Washington, D.C. On the night of her son’s birthday party, a matriarch is hunted by a covert government unit—unleashing far more than her perpetrators bargained for. The story exposes the ruthless tactics of the Miscellaneous M Unit: secret interrogations, surveillance, and blacklists targeting queer Americans, people of color, and intellectuals. This story resonates with a chilling truth—what happened 70 years ago still echoes through America today.
