Tyrant stars Adam Rayner as Barry al Fayeed, a Calfornia pediatrician who's also secretly the youngest son of a Middle East dictator. When Barry reluctantly returns to his home country, it's not long before he, his wife and kids have to confront the longstanding family issues with his father and brother that he left behind so many years ago. And the longer Barry stays, the more we see the darker version of himself he's been running from for all these years.

Barry, the younger son of Baladi's dictator, ends his exile to return with his American family to his homeland for his nephew's wedding. His arrival leads to a dramatic culture clash, as he reluctantly returns to the familial and national politics he once left.
