After Shideh's building is hit by a missile during the Iran-Iraq War, a superstitious neighbor suggests that the missile was cursed and might be carrying malevolent Middle-Eastern spirits. She becomes convinced a supernatural force within the building is attempting to possess her daughter Dorsa, and she has no choice but to confront these forces if she is to save her daughter and herself.

When an Iraqi missile strikes her apartment building, a mother must distinguish between the very real terror of war and a sinister presence lurking in the shadows. This claustrophobic nightmare pits maternal instinct against an ancient, unseen evil.
