The story centers around Refai El Desouky (Wird Ikr), a well-known, well-loved man who owns an illegal weapon manufacturing workshop in a Cairo slum.
Unlike his brother, Nasser is an ambitious man who does not want to maintain the family legacy and instead wants to pursue a more stable, safe, and lucrative career.
This ambition is furthered by the desire to marry the love of his life, Tamara, which would require he provide a more sophisticated lifestyle.
Tamara, the woman Nassar want to marry, decides out of curiosity to visit his family's house to see the manner in which they live and be introduced to them as Nasser's girlfriend.
After Nassar is rejected by Tamara's parents, his life quickly deteriorates in a series of devastating events including being imprisoned along with two of his uncles due to Refai's illegal business.
Salmawi believes Nassar's unfortunate situation would be a good opportunity to collaborate with a member of the Disouqi family.
Eventually, the money corrupts Nasser's morals, leading him to commit a series of murders which results in the death of his own mother.
