The movie centers around a young husband and wife, Emad and Rana. Forced to move to a new home, Rana falls victim to rape. The rape leaves Rana scarred and broken leading to tensions in their marriage.

As Rana withdraws into her shell, Emad transforms from quiet to vengeful - seeking to extract revenge on the man who ruined his marriage. In this quest, it becomes evident that Emad's rage is more to do with the insult to his pride than with the crime perpetrated on his wife.
