A drug dealing, secretive, and brutal clan control a tightknit community in Upper Egypt. The movie tracks the rise of the Mansour Hafny (Ahmed El-Sakka), the educated son of the clan’s leader, as he consolidates his power over the region. Mansour clashes with the police, enters a blood feud with a rival clan, but yearns for the daughter of his worst enemy. A police officer, Tarek (Mahmoud Abdel-Moghni), is posted to the region in order to stop Mansour, but discovers even deadlier secrets of corruption.
