Plot
The film is set in a neighbourhood in Lahore and telescopes out from the everyday lives of a middle-class family to expose local corruption.[1][2]
The story centres on Haider Ali, a working-class boy and the son of a prayer leader. He is in love with a local girl named Sara. Haider's uncle is a government official who believes that accepting bribes is not sinful. Haider is framed by the local SHO for a mob shooting. After managing to escape punishment for this crime, Haider's life changes drastically. He now sees the bigger, more bitter picture of the current system and its effect on everyone. He decides to do something about it, putting his education, family, friends, and love at risk in the process.[3]
