  • In the first installment, Sarah (Driver) feels incomplete without the child that has been promised to her and her husband, Abraham (Donovan), by God. After braving isolation, famine, the ire of Pharaoh, and several more years of barrenness, she resorts to her own plan to bring a child into the world involving her maidservant Hagar (Karam) and Abraham. However, jealousy soon sets in after Hagar gives birth to Ishmael (from whose lineage the Islamic religion traces its roots). Then, a miracle happens... and personal freedoms are at odds with long-held grievances and shattered love.
