Three women join forces to save endangered antiquities from Palmyra, only to be caught in the heart of a high-stakes international art conspiracy.
In 2015, as war engulfed Syria, renowned archaeologist Omar Al Mansour risked everything to save Palmyra's ancient treasures. But when his mission ends in his brutal murder, three women from his past—his daughter Zenobia, former singer-turned-socialite art dealer Fereale, and old friend Rania, owner of Hotel Palmyra—are thrust together to protect his legacy. Long-buried tensions resurface at the iconic hotel in Lebanon, which Rania battles to keep from collapsing. Fereale hides the true extent of her involvement, while Zenobia, still reeling from her father's death, uncovers his numerous secrets.

Unaware of Omar's twisted plot, the three women are bound by an inheritance that is both a blessing and a curse: shipments of valuable smuggled artefacts—including the legendary "Bust of Queen Zenobia"—a prize that ruthless collectors and corrupt institutions will kill for. As they navigate the perilous world of art trafficking, betrayals and buried pasts threaten not only the fate of the artefacts but their own survival. To reclaim their heritage—and their destinies—they must outwit powerful forces before Omar's legacy consumes them all.
