Yehia is released from prison after 15 years of being wrongfully convicted of murdering his sister Nadia (Huda El Mufti), who drowned during a diving trip. Determined to avenge her death, overturn his conviction, and expose the true culprit, Yehia (Asser Yassin as an adult and Youssef Raafat as a teen) begins to dig into the past. His old friends, all of whom were on that trip — Sherif (Tamer Nabil and Omar Sherif Badr), Ali (Sherif Salama and Abdullah Ashraf), and Mona (Saba Mubarak and Hagar El Hadi) — become suspects.

Yehia teams up with Layla (Rakeen Saad), Ali and Mona’s younger sister, who insists on joining him in uncovering the truth — one her parents (Sherine Reda and Mahmoud Hemeida) have refused to share with her.

The series has dominated Netflix Egypt’s most watched list since its release, garnering widespread attention from both fans and critics. It’s hard enough not to binge-watch the entire show in one sitting based on its premise, but it was made even harder by the standout performances by the younger cast. While there may be some plot holes impacting the logical flow of events, Syrian director Al-Sadir Masoud — known for The Killing — once again proves his ability to deliver a thrilling and entertaining watch that keeps audiences hooked until the final moment.

WHERE TO WATCH- You can find the series on Netflix, or watch the trailer on YouTube (runtime: 1:26).
