The four-part series is based on real-life events of the hunt for Imad Mughniyeh, the operational head of the Hezbollah terrorist group backed by Iran. Mughniyeh had managed to evade the CIA and Mossad for more than two decades until his death in a bombing in Damascus on February 12, 2008. According to reports, the spy agencies collaborated in a joint operation that led to his death. The series will include real interview segments with some people who were involved.
