For Arabia, SULTAN INDUSTRIES has the largest company following, and draws the largest income around Agrabah. During this day and age, that’s commendable. SULTAN INDUSTRIES stands on a worldly platform while those around it crumble. It's commendable. It inspires many to do better. The company has been in the family for decades, and it continues to get passed down from generation to generation. Each is more successful than the last, and it’s no surprise that they’ve held such a reputable standing worldwide. It is a literal industrial empire. 

That being said, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the company comes with inside issues of its’ own. Every business has problems, even the seemingly squeaky clean. Inside eyes that seek to own the company, heir’s that don’t necessarily want the company name, and lowly scrappers that have eyes on a prize of a different sort, it doesn’t matter. They’re out there. Be it internally or externally, there’s always something that’s bound to create a crux. 

Take Jasmine, for instance. As the daughter and heiress to her father’s fortune and multi-billion dollar company, she doesn’t necessarily have the mindset for business. Jasmine still wants the things her dad couldn’t quite keep up with: a family, friends, and a life outside the job. In fact, she’s desperate for it. Slipping into a city that isn’t all that friendly despite the wealth, Jasmine’s prone to running into people with bad intentions. She’s looking for love in all the wrong places. How did her father handle that? He hired a bodyguard. Undercover, Rajah doesn’t look like much of a fighter. In fact, she only stands out because she’s not entirely native to the area. Using Jasmine’s kind heart against her, Rajah befriends the girl without her knowing that she’s being paid to do so and to protect Jasmine as she wanders about. Rajah’s intentions are pure. She actually even finds out that she adores Jasmine, past being “work”. Others aren’t so friendly. 

Jafar, an associate of SULTAN INDUSTRIES has had his eye on Sultan’s business ever since he was a paper pusher in a cubicle. Likewise, he’s had Jasmine in his sights, too. She’s young, influential, and owns the west indian hemisphere if she’d so desire. She’s the perfect gateway to Jafar’s own empire, and it’d be so simple to build, too. All he’s got to do is get her to say yes, and with preying upon Jasmine’s desires it shouldn’t be hard.

Did I mention that not everything was internal? I did. While SULTAN INDUSTRIES serves as a pinnacle establish to the untrained eye, it also steps on the little people. Every company does it. Nobody talks it. No one ever does. SULTAN INDUSTRIES pays a lot of tribute to the city. It provides jobs for the community. The streets, the parks, and the day to day businesses are pristine. But not everyone makes it. Pretty fixtures are just that. The streets still crawl with homeless people. These are the overlooked, the lessers of society, and the forgotten. While you might not see them during the day, they own the streets at night. Pilfering this bar or robbing that bank, a small band has deemed themselves expert thieves; and they’re just that. The biggest heist to date? SULTAN INDUSTRIES. 

Aladdin has never had much. That’s not to say he was a low-life. Circumstances. Everyone’s a victim of circumstances and his left him where he’s at: plum-broke and busted. Sooner or later, it seemed like the perfect logic. ‘Steal from the rich! They’ll never miss it!’ 

Just like SULTAN INDUSTRIES, prowling the streets isn’t anything new. The lesser have skimmed the streets and robbed the big businesses for decades. Big businesses swallow smaller ones, and they wind up part of the street rat society. That’s how Aladdin wound up there, and it’s how he met Abu. Unlike Aladdin, Abu was pretty much  born into the poor and the proud. While Aladdin’s the type to flash his winnings and take pride in his work by spreading word around with everything he accomplishes each night, Abu prefers to stick quietly by his side and pull off the more elaborate parts of a scheme. Quiet versus loud, and that’s why they make such a great team. 

As a duo team, Aladdin and Abu look out for each other, but report to a higher up: Genie. Genie runs the streets. He doesn’t have a gang, but he has his claim, and if people want his protection, they’ve got to share their earnings and winnings. Half of what Abu and Aladdin gain, they pawn off, and it goes to Genie. It’s his planning that plants the seed of robbing SULTAN INDUSTRIES in Abu and Aladdin’s head. Little do they know, they’ll be in for more than they bargained for. Aladdin is just the sort of adventure that Jasmine craves, and when worlds collide both crews will be thrown into uncharted territory. Aladdin won’t be the only one who gets himself pulled into the land of the lavish. For the first time, Abu might just get close with someone from the other side, someone who’s just as quiet, and just as able to keep secrets as he is: Rajah. 

On the flip side, Genie has his own competition. Magic and Genie used to be business partners, before a falling out sent them their separate ways, and it wasn't amicably. Together, the two fight for dominance over the streets, and who has claim to things. What happens when Magic finds out the Genie is planning to send his boys on a heist to SULTAN INDUSTRIES? Will she try to swoop in and steal everything he's been planning? Or will Magic send her own people in to pick pocket the pick pocketers?

Around the corner, secret deals are being made. Iaga was promised to Jafar as a mistress in an arrangement, because he caught a male accountant "cooking the books" and embezzling a small amount of money from SULTAN INDUSTRIES to keep his family afloat. As a trade to keep from going to jail, he traded his daughter, Iaga. Trapped and confined, Iaga is at a loss. She's not even permitted contact with her family. Because of this, she abides Jafar's every command, and that means she starts seducing Sultan, when he tells her to. Is it worth it for Iaga to lose her dignity, so she can have all the money and comfort she'll ever need? Or is her dignity and self worth more important than living the life of the lavish? Would she accept the life of the poor if it meant her freedom?

Can love be enough or will lust and greed get the best of everyone? And when does one’s profession bleed into one’s personal lives a little too much? Also, what of things that are outside of anyone’s control? Genie? Jafar? 

Lines will be drawn. They have to be.
