After deciding to open their marriage, Ale and Jake create a set of rules to protect their relationship, including one they consider non-negotiable: never kiss another man.

But during their first threesome, Jake breaks that rule.

In the aftermath, Ale and Jake are forced to confront what an open marriage truly means and renegotiate the boundaries that will allow them to explore their desires without jeopardizing their relationship.

Ale agrees to let Jake kiss other men, but only if Jake finally indulges a fantasy Ale has always wanted to explore: sleeping with a woman.

Unable to imagine himself being intimate with the opposite sex, Jake refuses.

Now, the couple must wrestle with a difficult question: how can they pursue their individual fantasies together when they don't share the same ones?

Meet Amal is a proof-of-concept online series created to explore the character and world of Amal, the antihero of the pilot Hayawan, conceived by Sophia Alawi and Nathan Franx.

The series takes viewers inside the imperfect mind of a Muslim American woman-child growing up in New Jersey in post-9/11 America. Amal doesn’t consider herself particularly religious — she sees herself as one of the “super-Americanized,” culturally Muslim types. But the more she tries to run from who she is, the more she finds herself pulled back.
