SYNOPSIS
Raouf, the illegitimate son of ruthless Egyptian arms dealer Salim Ahel, works in the shadows doing his father’s dirty work and hoping one day to be recognised as family. Assassinations are his specialty. He loses his resolve, however, when he is told to eliminate Amina, daughter of one of his previous victims, when she starts hunting her father’s killer. Instead, he helps her to escape Ahel’s clutches and flees with her. What next? When Amina finds out who Raouf is, will she kill him? Or will he kill her first? Maybe Ahel’s legitimate son, in hot pursuit of the runaways, will kill them both? With the help of an all-star cast, Salama keeps us on the edges of our seats.
