Overview

Al-Hakam is a powerful figure who built his empire on smuggling, corruption and exploitation during Syria’s war years. His son Rayan, an honest police officer, finds himself drawn into the very criminal networks his father operates within. A dark Syrian crime drama that explores war profiteering, systemic corruption and the human cost of conflict — using a fractured father–son relationship to examine how deeply these systems run through society.
