Barry reluctantly agrees to his mother's request for him and his family to go "home" for his nephew Ahmed's wedding, this the first time in twenty years that he will have been in Abuddin since he escaped when he was sixteen. Molly wants to support her husband in whatever he needs in this case to retain extended family harmony. Emma, feeling the vibe from her father, doesn't want to go at all. And Sammy wants to go to experience the perks and luxury associated with being the grandson of a world leader, dictator or not. If he has to go, Barry wants to do this trip on his own terms, not wanting any of the blood money associated with the violent regime of his family to subsidize it. Barry is feeling those old feelings of why he left in the approach to going to Abuddin, but it becomes all the worse when he and his family land in Abuddin and he meets with his mother and father, who he has not seen since he left twenty years ago, and his older brother Jamal, who overcompensates for an incident from their childhood. While Molly wants Barry to take this opportunity to unburden himself of whatever deep secrets he is harboring - which he has not divulged in the nineteen years of their marriage, which Molly feels has negatively affected their relationship - Barry, in turn, just wants to escape again, shutting down in the process. But leaving this second time around may be more difficult out of circumstance than he would like.
