Raad Rawi

A California paediatrician, the second son of a Middle Eastern dictator, reluctantly agrees to take his family to attend his nephew's wedding in his native country.

Barry seeks salvation in the desert. Jamal must come to terms with the loss of his brother, and, upon her return to America, Molly faces the reality of Barry's death and struggles to readjust to normal life.

A Bedouin family, bound by custom and hospitality, takes Barry in. Tariq's drastic military action leaves Jamal distraught, and Molly seeks help in navigating the Al-Fayeed family trust.

When his older brother, Jamal - the newly appointed president of Abbudin - is incapacitated, Barry must put his return plans on hold. Terrorists kidnap his nephew's new bride.

Jamal must decide whether or not to have Barry executed for leading the failed coup. Molly fights, against the clock, to secure Barry's freedom, while Ihab and Samira are driven by desperation.

As thousands of citizens are gathering to protest in the plaza, Jamal prepares to challenge them. With an idea of avoiding violent clashes, Barry races to organise a summit.
