About the Show:
When Los Angeles pediatrician Barry Al Fayeed receives an invitation to attend a nephew's wedding in the Middle Eastern homeland he left more than 20 years ago, he is reluctant, to say the least. His wife, however, finally convinces him that, besides being a good cultural experience for their two teenage children, it would be cathartic for him to revisit his unhappy life as the second son of his native country's violent dictatorial president.
From the moment the plane touches down in his homeland's airport, all Barry wants to do is get his family back to the U.S. Unfortunately, instances and obligations keep piling up to make that return trip more and more unlikely.
