The series opens with cartel driver Max speeding across the Algerian desert with a companion to exchange cocaine for antique statues in Beirut, then encountering a bloody ambush that unexpectedly spares him. A mysterious rescuer nicknamed JJ reroutes Max to Benghazi, complicating his plans. Parallel strands show an oligarch's daughter in the Caucasus sending suspicious boxed cargo to Beirut under strict separation rules, hinting at nuclear implications. The narrative jumps between Algeria, Libya, Russia and Lebanon with breakneck pacing, frequent violence and dark humour, anchored by high-energy performances and escalating international stakes.
We first meet him speeding across the Algerian portion of the north African desert with a companion called Carlos (Nezar Thalal) on their way to Beirut to exchange a great deal of cocaine for some antique statues, when bish, bash, wallop, what's happening?! An ambush by a militant group armed with machine guns who kill Carlos and are about to kill Max? But then one of the group turns on the others and kills all of them stone dead instead,
Meanwhile, we trot over to other parts of the globe, including the Caucasus mountains in Russia, where an oligarch's fearsome daughter Oksana Shirokova (Avital Lvova) is sending a brace of boxes via some reluctant mule herders to Beirut. She adds that they and the unspecified contents (To you they're statues) being smuggled out of the nuclear state must be kept two metres apart at all times. The mule herders look even more reluctant.
