The film follows Ali, a young man born into both a Christian and Muslim background, who finds himself at a crossroads after the death of his parents. Ali has been the sole provider for his siblings Maryam, and Khalid.

    When Ali is beaten by a gang for defending his siblings from harassment, he is pushed to the brink. Struggling to make ends meet, Ali is drawn to the idea of joining the gang, who offer him the power and money he desperately needs. As the weight of his decision weighs heavily on him, Ali turns to prayer for guidance, torn between his Christian and Muslim faiths.
