With Five Souls

From a graveyard in 1983 to Beirut’s alleys in 2026, Shams lives undocumented and scrapes by one day at a time. A street fight and a police raid hit hard. Then a midnight knock inevitably (re)writes Ibn Al Mayta’s name…

A singer by night, a mum by day, Samaher scrambles to hold her crumbling world together. With Assi's presence getting harder to ignore Shams steps in, ready to fight for a woman those around him refuse to accept.

The truth about Shams's mum breaks him. The truth about his father makes him a threat. A recorded will from Amir Badis leaves no stone unturned. Consequently, Shams is humiliated, hunted, and left running for his life.

Shams' quest to find his roots lands him behind bars. Freed with help from Rashed, he emerges transformed: a new look, a new ride, and ten grand in hand, ready to navigate the dazzling world of fortune and luxury.

The press makes a spectacle out of Shams and his past, selling a rags-to-riches narrative. Urged forward by Samaher, he steps closer to power—unaware that he’s under closer watch than he realises…

Rashed gives Shams the first clue in the quest to fulfill Amir’s ultimatum, while secretly serving two masters. DNA tests, jealousy, and mounting quarrels with Samaher set the stage for everything to go off course.
