When notary Lebel (Rémy Girard) sits down with Jeanne and Simon Marwan (Mélissa
Désormeaux Poulin, Maxim Gaudette) to read them their mother Nawal’s will (Lubna Azabal),
the twins are stunned to receive a pair of envelopes – one for the father they thought was dead
and another for a brother they didn’t know existed.

With Lebel’s help, the twins set out to the Middle East to understand the life of their deceased
enigmatic mother, who has left them with a puzzle only they can piece together.
