It is nearly nighttime in the Iranian city of Bad City. A youthful rockabilly type, named Arash (Arash Marandi](/actor/arash-marandi)), scoops up a stray cat known as Masuka the Cat. While heading back to his vehicle, he encounters a begging child (Milad Eghbali), who, devoid of hope, departs after stating he has no money. Meanwhile, a disheveled middle-aged man named Hossein (Marshall Manesh](/actor/marshall-manesh)) is glued to his TV. In a desperate act, he injects drugs into one of his toes, revealing his inability to afford the lifestyle he leads, which includes both drugs and women. His hefty-tattooed dealer, Saeed ([ominic Rains), cruelly takes Hossein’s car when he bemoans his situation, leaving Arash yearning to reclaim the car but arriving too late.
