Before dawn, seven passengers are making their way from Shahdad to Kerman on a side road. When one of the passengers is discovered dead, they haven't traveled very far. Instead of finding an ID, an address, or a phone when they search the dead man's body, they discover a lot of cash under his vest.

Mash Hassan, a rural father, takes out a loan from the bank to support his family, but a flood and other unfortunate events cause him to fall into debt. The family's 13-year-old son, Qasim, heads to the city with his friends to repay the debt.
