The premise
Sinbad accidentally kills the son of the powerful Lord Akbari in a fist fight. As recompense for the blood debt, Sinbad's brother is killed in front of his eyes. Sinbad escapes, but his grandmother uses a magic talisman to curse him for the death of his brother. The curse prevents Sinbad from staying on land for more than one day; if he tarries the talisman will choke him to death. This prohibition against remaining on land leads to a life of adventure at sea that holds many wonders. Sinbad is unaware that he is still being hunted by Lord Akbari, who does not consider Sinbad's brother's death as sufficient payment of the blood debt.
Horror Vault's take
A young Sinbad finds himself bound by a supernatural curse that bars him from dry land for more than a day — forcing him into an endless life of seafaring adventure across mythical waters. Based on the classic Arabian Nights tradition, this British fantasy series blends ancient folklore with monster encounters, treacherous rivals, and exotic locales. All the while, a powerful enemy lurks in the background, unwilling to let old grudges rest. Each episode brings fresh perils and wonders as Sinbad and his ragtag crew navigate a world where magic and danger are never far apart.
