What happens

The multi-million dollar crime-thriller production was shot partly in Saudi Arabia and partly in Abu Dhabi and features an all-Saudi cast in the lead roles. The script tapped exclusive material Saudi state archives on the real Rashash's "long-running criminal investigation from the late 1980s.” It was streamed on Shahid VIP with one episode per week of about an hour, starting from July 9, 2021.
