Forced to divorce his wife after her mother’s reputation brings family and social pressure, Nazar takes on double‑shift jobs to repay the loan from their impulsive wedding and support his rejected bride, Reyhaneh. Falling behind, he evades the police and drifts into the desert, where he partners with a taciturn older man who harvests poisonous snakes for venom. Together they must survive; Nazar’s talkative nature irritates the silent stranger, and the harsh landscape soon puts Nazar’s life in jeopardy.
