In Iran, though the judiciary system mandates capital punishment for dealers, whatever the amount of drug sold, the ranks of addicts are swelling. There are now 6,5 million drug users in the country. After several years of investigation, Samad, a cop with a rough and dubious approach, finally manages to find the infamous drug kingpin Nasser K., and thinks the case will soon be closed. But things do not quite go according to plan…
