Daam is a Sri Lankan Sinhala-language television series that aired on Sirasa TV from 21 December 2020 to 7 May 2021. Directed by Dhanushka Rathnayake and written by Kaushalya Pathirana, the series was produced by Gayan Dinesh Perera under Gayan Productions. It stars Bimal Jayakody, Tharindi Fernando, and Chameera Liyanage in lead roles.
Plot Amaya, an air hostess with an exceptional photographic memory, becomes entangled in an international drug-trafficking network after catching the attention of Kevin Walter Almeida, a prominent drug trafficker and former associate of her father. Almeida attempts to leverage Amaya's memory skills to transport contraband and assist in his criminal operations.
Initially, Amaya refuses to cooperate. However, facing escalating threats against her family, she is forced into the syndicate to protect her husband, Kevin, her daughter, Akeshi, as well as her parents and sister.
Meanwhile, a commercial flight departing Sri Lanka mysteriously disappears with no initial signs of survivors. Amaya's family and the public presume she died in the crash. However, Almeida discovers that Amaya survived and launches an effort to track her down to bring her back under his control.
Almeida later crosses paths with Livera, a man suffering from severe retrograde amnesia whose past is tied to Almeida's criminal network. Amaya is eventually rescued, while Livera attempts to flee the country. Livera is subsequently apprehended by law enforcement at the airport, exposing his deep involvement in the syndicate.
In the final scene, Almeida is seen travelling in a vehicle alongside another man (portrayed by Saranga Disasekara). The man turns to Almeida and remarks, "The game is on", concluding the series. Disasekara reprises his role as Rayan, a character from director Dhanushka Rathnayake's previous television series, Wes.
