Adam Mejri, a man determined not to follow in the criminal footsteps of his father, Ismael, a notorious figure in the criminal world, leads a monotonous life as an aimless insurance agent. However, everything changes when his father is released from prison and re-enters his life, forcing Adam to confront his past demons. To help his father pay off his heavy gambling debts, Adam embarks on what is known in Tunisia as “The scam of the century”. Using his finance skills and playing on the trust of investors, Adam quickly becomes one of Tunisia’s most successful financial con artists.
But as his wealth and popularity grow, his thirst for power and grandeur becomes uncontrollable. The repercussions of his criminal actions ripple throughout the country, and Adam finds himself on the run, hunted by the authorities and hated by the public. With the authorities on his tail and his fortune rapidly declining, Adam finds himself trapped in a world of financial manipulation, betrayal, and imminent danger. He must face his mistakes and find a way to make amends before his past catches up with him for good
