In a country like Iraq where the dishonorable crush the poor and kill them, Uday, the sadistic son of Saddam Hussein, leads a life devoid of honor and dignity within his own little kingdom. In this filthy place where the interests of high-ranking officials are paramount, immorality runs rampant, and the most powerful, Uday, dictates the rules. Latif Yahia, a man who once served as an officer in the military, is suddenly summoned to Saddam’s palace and asked to take Uday’s place because Latif bears a striking resemblance to his twin. Refusing this request is not easy for Latif, as rejecting it would put his family and his own life in danger. Reluctantly accepting, Latif now has to step into Uday’s shoes, witnessing firsthand the moments of betrayal, corruption, and evil that pervade this world. Knowing that he cannot trust anyone, Latif not only fights for survival but also strives to break free from this ugly game he has been forcibly dragged into.
