Synopsis
Yasmine/Jasmine is a one-hour limited series centering on Jasmine (24), a first-generation immigrant who suffers from an inexpressible existential grief related to her distant homeland of North Africa. Jasmine falls into a deep state of shock after her mother unexpectedly dies which subsequentially triggers intense and horrifying visions of a doppelgänger ghost named Yasmine who grows relentless at disrupting Jasmine’s American life. Her visions of Yasmine only intensify when she arrives in Marrakesh, Morocco to lay her mother’s body to rest. After reconnecting with her extended family, Jasmine begins to wonder and ask questions about her estranged father. However, to her dismay, Jasmine’s family adamantly keeps his whereabouts a secret preventing any possibility for closure. Until late one night, Jasmine discovers a mysterious family photo album filled with images of her teenage self in Morocco with her father -- an impossible reality. After stealing a photograph from the family album and receiving a prophecy from a Seer, she goes out on the road in search of her father’s hometown where she finally begins her journey in confronting a dark curse, navigating the Moroccan occult, all in order to reclaim a part of herself she never knew.
