Montaser (Ahmed Zaki) is a young man from Upper Egypt. Looking for a living, he works with an office of labor exporting to Gulf countries. Medhat, the manager of this office drives him to take money from the workers and gets him imprisoned at the end after putting a piece of Hash in his pocket. Getting out of prison, Montasser tries to restore his wife from Ragwat, the lady that seduced her to work as a prostitute in Turkey. When Ragwat refuses to lead him to his wife or at least give him her address, he tries to make her say where she is by force. Resisting him Rajawat hits her head at a desk and dies. Accused of killing her, Montaser has to escape trying to reach his friend who Montaser has left some money with before going to prison. The friend used the money so he calls the police for Montaser. As the friend is running from him, he falls under the metro (Cairo's underground). Accused with this crime too, he continues to be a fugitive from justice. As a runaway he finds no one to shelter him except for Sabah, a dancer that becomes his lover. Now Salem, an officer from his hometown is on his tail. Salem is convinced that he needs to arrest Montaser alive to have a fair trial but his colleagues prefer to kill him.
