See the most agreed on films →A dedicated narcotics officer in Tehran operates in a morally gray world, using any means necessary to maintain control over his precinct. His methods are unorthodox and often brutal, but effective. His already precarious existence is thrown into chaos when a new, powerful synthetic drug hits the streets, threatening to overwhelm the city. As he investigates the source of this new threat, the lines between policeman and criminal blur, forcing him to confront the corrosive nature of his work and the personal sacrifices demanded by his unwavering commitment to his own brand of justice.
