About
When blood turns against blood behind palace doors.
In a fictional state gripped by a tyrannical ruling family, a scandal erupts at the heart of the presidential palace — and ignites a brutal power struggle between two brothers: one who holds the presidency, one who commands the military. As secrets leak and loyalties fracture, the machinery of authoritarian rule begins to crack from within. A daring Syrian political thriller that pulls no punches in its portrait of dynastic corruption and the violence it breeds. Stars Maxim Khalil.
