The heiress to a London medical empire falls for a brilliant Syrian refugee surgeon, sparking a war with her controlling family and his strict Eastern traditions that threatens to cost her both her son and her one chance at love.

SYNOPSIS:

Most refugee stories focus on the struggle to adapt to a new world. THE SURGEON flips that perspective to explore the shockwaves a single, extraordinary refugee sends through a powerful, insulated Western family.

The story is told not through the refugee's eyes, but through those of EMILY FORD, a fiercely independent heiress and single mother who embodies Western values of freedom and individualism. Her world is shattered by DR. JAWAAD HAZEM, a brilliant Syrian surgeon whose genius threatens the established order, whose traditions challenge Emily's concept of love, and whose silent trauma forces everyone around him to confront their own hidden prejudices.

THE SURGEON is not a story about Jawaad's suffering; it's about the "suffering" of Emily and her family as they are forced to adapt, accept, or reject a man who is a mirror to their own fears and contradictions. The series asks a profound question: when two worlds collide, is love enough to build a bridge, or will the weight of tradition and prejudice cause it to collapse?
