S01E01 The Deed
After witnessing his father being murdered over a land dispute, a vengeful Assi returns 17 years later to claim what’s rightfully his.
Assi seeks Moutaz Pasha’s help to resolve the land conflict. Elsewhere, Nawras Pasha pays the nearby village a visit demanding that they relinquish their land.
The story is set in a fiery period at the end of the 19th century in a tense atmosphere charged with the premonitions of the First World War. After Assi Al-Zand's discharge from military service and his return to his village on the banks of the Orontes river, he is caught up in a series of conflicts and conspiracies involving the region's leading political figures.
