When a fight between three brothers and an armed man in a back street in modern-day Lebanon results in the latter's death, teenage Jad (Wissam Fares) takes the rap to protect the older Ziad (a splendidly chisel-faced Alain Saadeh), who would have been banged up for life for the crime.

The only thing that stands in their way is Abu Ali, the drug lord whose product they have been successfully peddling and who is not happy with his dealers' retirement plans. He convinces Ziad to take on one final job, to drive a truck load of locally produced amphetamines into Syria, but once across the border Ziad smells a trap and the deal goes seriously sour.
