Hounds

In a restless city where the neon glow masks a network of hidden desperation, a lone father and his teenage son scrape by on the margins of legality. The streets pulse with a low‑grade urgency, a place where small crimes keep the lights on and the shadows constantly threaten to swallow you whole. The atmosphere is tight‑knit and claustrophobic, a night that feels both endless and fleeting, humming with the quiet menace of a local mafia that silently controls who gets a chance to survive.

Hassan is a weary man forced to lean on whatever work he can find, his hands calloused from years of scraping by. Beside him, Issam moves with a cautious sharpness that belies his age, constantly watching his father’s choices and questioning the moral cost of their every move. Their bond is a fragile mix of loyalty and unease, a generational tug‑of‑war that fuels both their strengths and their doubts. Together they navigate a world that offers no clean exits, their relationship the only steady compass in a sea of uncertainty.

When a seemingly routine assignment—transporting a reluctant captive across town for the mafia—takes an unexpected turn, the pair is thrust into a night that spirals far beyond the bounds of their modest plan. Every mile becomes a test of wits and will, each narrow alley a reminder that the line between survival and surrender is razor‑thin. As the darkness deepens, the father‑son duo must confront the weight of their choices, the ever‑present threat of both law and outlaw, and the unsettling feeling that the simple job they accepted may have opened a doorway to something far more perilous.
