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.
Forced to sell his horses, Nawras Pasha is taken aback when he meets with the buyer. Later, a task Ruth assigns him leaves Assi in a state of panic.
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.
