In a gripping opening scene, a bus crosses the Iranian border as Scarlet Marlowe (Perdita Weeks), recording into her camera, shares her daring mission to unearth a historical artifact hidden in an impending demolition site. Aware of the dangers posed by Iranian authorities, she confidently quips, “They’ll have to catch me first.” Seeking access to the catacomb, she visits Reza ([Hamid Djavadan]), who cautions her about the urgency of their task. Despite her reassurances, they find themselves hiding from soldiers as they navigate the perilous site. Fueled by her determination to honor her late father’s legacy, Scarlet uncovers an intricately marked bull statue known as The Rose Key.
