Tyrant

The narrative follows a seemingly ordinary American family as they become entangled in the affairs of a volatile Middle Eastern country. Bassam “Barry” Al Fayeed, the younger offspring of the nation’s authoritarian leader, returns to his birthplace after a self-imposed 20-year absence. Accompanied by his American spouse and children, he comes back for his nephew’s wedding. Barry’s hesitant return sets the stage for a significant cultural confrontation as he is thrust back into the political dynamics of both his family and his homeland.
