Your thesis on addiction? Written by your dad, the kingpin. Awkward.
(Nesma), the daughter of the wealthy merchant (Hamed El-Ganzouri), is preparing a master's thesis on drug addiction, and she does not know that her father is a major drug dealer. (Zaher) helps him in his business until he becomes rich. (Nesma) falls in love with (Medhat), a medical student who is struggling in his studies because of his poverty, which makes him surrender to drug addiction. At the same time, (Zaher) admires (Nesma) and tries to marry her, but (Hamed) refuses and makes fun of him, so (Zaher) leaves his job and tries to expose him in front of his daughter and report him to the police.
