When an aspiring filmmaker tries to make a project about Jeddah little does he know what the beloved city means to him until stumbling upon an underrated maven cinematographer living in a country without cinema.

A security guard who quickly rises to the top and makes billions, where he and his partners convince people into suspicious investments with the promise of doubling their money in no time.

In Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, a young aspiring filmmaker and his circle of friends grapple with family expectations, gender roles, romance and rivalry.

Set in old Jeddah during the final years of the Ottoman era, this Saudi period drama follows two brothers raised in the same neighbourhood who take opposite paths in life — one falls into gang life and criminality, the other chooses righteousness and virtue. Rooted in Hijazi folk tradition, the show paints a vivid picture of community, honour, and moral struggle in a bygone era.
