Adam Rayner stars in the show, whilst viewers will get to continue in following the story of the once unassuming American man drawn into the inner workings and chaos of a turbulent Middle Eastern nation. That man is Bassam 'Barry' Al-Fayeed (Rayner), the youngest son of a controversial dictator, now deceased, of a war-torn country.
Returning to his homeland after 20 years in America of self-imposed exile, Barry will be reunited with his temperamental brother Jamal (Ashraf Barhom), Abuddin's new president. Assuming the role of confidante and counsellor to his sibling, a plot to overthrow him and take to the presidency himself was foiled back in the first season, putting not just him but his entire family in danger.
Fuelled by visions of a better land for Abuddin's people, Barry wanted nothing but good for his homeland, but now with his life hanging in the balance, it's down to his brother to decide whether or not he should be executed for treason.
Episode one sees Barry await punishment for the failed coup, whilst Jamal agonises over the decisions he will have to make. Barry's wife Molly (Jennifer Finnigan) does her best to fight for her husband's freedom, whilst Ihab (Alexander Karim) and Samira (Mor Polanuer) turn to desperate tactics.
