Overview

Drama

(Saif) A police officer chases gangs smuggling gems out, and during one of the chases a gang member is killed, tried, and dismissed from servants. The (Murad) gang asks him to work with him and he agrees, and he goes to Lebanon to complete a deal, and the process is completed. The gang is suspicious of (Saif) and that he is still working with the police, kidnapping his son as a hostage, to carry out one of the currency exchange operations for the gang, and the events continue in an exciting atmosphere.
