'Set in Western Sydney and produced by Matchbox Pictures, House of Gods is a gripping tale of faith, family, secrets and lies, which takes audiences behind the walls of an iman’s family and the Australian Arab/Iraqi community he leads. The series explores the personal cost of influence and ambition as the Imam, Sheikh Mohammad, and his family grapple with newfound power, politics and privilege.'

'Scene A small room with a mattress in one corner. There is a dirty bed sheet on the mattress. The whole atmosphere is lit by a blue fluorescent light, covered in the ceiling by a cage. Suddenly the door of the room, which is located in the back, will open and a MAN will be thrown in. He tries to stand up, but he feels pain in his stomach, so he bends and tries to bear it.'
