In the season finale, the truth finally surfaces. While Brazilian authorities, the PCC, and the CIA all believe Nadim is dead, a hidden plan set in motion by Miriam unfolds behind the scenes. As Nadim escapes the fate designed for him, the couple reunites and confronts the lies that shaped their past—including revelations that redefine who they are and whom they truly serve. Far from Brazil, new players emerge, new allegiances are exposed, and a much larger conspiracy comes into focus.

Episode 5 closes one story while opening the door to an even more dangerous world—one that Nadim and Miriam are only beginning to understand.

As pressure closes in from every direction, Nadim faces escalating danger inside Catanduvas while the CIA pursues a covert plan of its own—one that places him directly in the crosshairs of a criminal faction. Meanwhile, Miriam races to uncover the truth behind the forces aligning against her husband, even as unexpected revelations begin to unravel everything she believed about her own past.

Episode 4 deepens the conspiracy, exposing the hidden players shaping Nadim’s fate and setting the stage for a turning point where survival depends on more than loyalty — it requires disappearing.

Nadim accepts a seemingly simple job: transport a locked suitcase across the South American border. But when he lands in Foz do Iguaçu, a familiar face from his past appears in the crowd, bringing with her a sudden warning that changes everything. Within moments, Nadim is pulled into a chain of events far more dangerous than he imagined.

As multiple intelligence agencies scramble to understand what happened, Nadim finds himself caught between conflicting agendas he can’t see or control. And when he’s taken into custody, it becomes clear that the real threat isn’t the suitcase he carried… but what others believe he knows.

Episode 3 pushes Nadim deeper into a world of manipulation, suspicion, and hidden power, where trust is scarce, and every secret has a price.

After years lost inside the U.S. detention system, Nadim Mansour emerges in the borderlands of South America — a place where identities shift, money disappears, and trust is a currency more dangerous than cash. As he tries to rebuild a life under a new name, Nadim is pulled into the criminal web of Barakat, a powerful hawaladar with ties to the network that destroyed his family.

But Nadim isn’t the only ghost moving through the region.

Miriam, his estranged wife — and a Mossad asset — has also arrived, tracking the same network from the shadows. When their paths collide at a small airport near the triple frontier, a split-second warning sets off a chain of events neither can control.

Episode 2 dives deeper into the border’s criminal ecosystem, revealing the first cracks of a global financial storm — and the moment Nadim realizes escape may no longer be possible.

A CIA postmortem meeting reopens the buried story of Nadim Mansour — a gifted Lebanese-American economist who rose from a New Jersey childhood to the heart of Wall Street. After his father is murdered over secret hawala connections, Nadim’s life spirals into a collision course with geopolitics, culminating in his wrongful arrest after 9/11 and his disappearance into the black sites of the U.S. detention system.

As the agency pieces together his past, they uncover two critical truths:
Nadim learned far more in Guantánamo than anyone realized… and his estranged wife, Miriam, may not be who she claimed to be.

Episode 1 sets the stage for a global financial thriller where loyalty is fragile, trust is weaponized, and the world’s oldest money network becomes the seed of a new kind of invisible war.

When Nadim Mansour — a brilliant Wall Street economist with a buried past — is falsely accused of terrorism in the wake of 9/11, his life is shattered. Imprisoned, forgotten, and ultimately released into South America, he disappears into the shadows of a borderland ruled by smugglers, corrupt politicians, and clandestine financial systems.

But Nadim carries with him two dangerous assets:
the ancient trust network of hawala, and a mind sharpened in the dark corners of Guantánamo.

As he becomes entangled with a criminal syndicate, a rogue CIA team, and a Mossad operative who also happens to be his estranged wife, Nadim’s struggle for survival evolves into something much larger: a hidden financial war that no government is prepared to fight.

A war he may have unknowingly started.
