A group of five young people find themselves sharing a crowded house and navigating challenging circumstances. Among them is someone struggling with addiction and attempting to recover, another facing intellectual hurdles, and a student desperately trying to prepare for university exams.

The house's true owner, known as the Prophet, is an exile working in Tehran, and the unexpected arrival of his wife further disrupts the already fragile dynamic within the house.
