The story of Hasan Sabbah, the Castle of Alamut, the assassins, and the paradise gardens unfolds in 11th century Iran. Sabbah, who declares himself a prophet, devises a cunning plan to establish dominance by transforming a select group of individuals into suicide assassins. Within the paradise he creates, beautiful slaves encounter a new reality that alters their lives unexpectedly. Sabbah constructs a virtual heaven filled with beautiful women, lush gardens, wine, and hashish, convincing his young warriors that they can enter this paradise if they obey his commands. This small army, dedicated to his cause and willing to embrace death and kill for it, aims to intimidate the ruling class. Sabbah manipulates the purity of his followers, using their devotion to religion for his political ambitions. The doors to power are now wide open for him.
