Set against the backdrop of the waning days of the Eid al-Fitr holidays in 1978, we are drawn into the lives of Adam Hightower, an American entangled in a web of corruption and desire, and Melina, a young Armenian woman grappling with familial rejection.Â
As Adam's pursuit of Melina intensifies, he finds himself ensnared in a dangerous game of blackmail orchestrated by his corrupt client, threatening to unravel his own clandestine endeavors. Meanwhile, amidst the growing chaos, Adam and his brother Jack forge ahead with their illicit oil field operations, only to be confronted by unforeseen challenges and adversaries, including the enigmatic figure known as the Weasel.
Caught in the crossfire of political upheaval and personal turmoil, Adam is forced to navigate the treacherous waters of his company's operations, clashing with the Shah's secret police in a high-stakes confrontation that will alter the course of his fate forever. As shortages and inflation grip the city, Samira, a witness to the daily struggles of life in Tehran, finds herself drawn into a world of clandestine dealings and unexpected alliances.
