In the first episode, we delve into Bashar and Asma's quest to ascend to the roles of president and first lady of Syria, set against a backdrop of family turmoil and distrust. Bashar's father, Hafez, a traditional Middle Eastern dictator who outlasted six U.S. presidents, had initially intended for Bashar's older brother to take over.
