His wife Huda leaves him, desperate for escape, but falls into the hands of those who see her vulnerability as an opportunity. When she meets the charming Baher at an art exhibition — a man who seems to embody everything she has ever dreamed of — she leaves her children behind and moves into his secluded mansion. The gilded cage soon reveals itself: Baher runs a prostitution ring, and Huda has become his newest acquisition. A stark, unflinching look at how quickly lives can unravel.
