Abed’s boss’s story about the identities of the dead men keeps changing, but when the daughter of one of them shows up, Amir’s guilty conscience leads him to seek out answers. He sinks deeper and deeper into the high-stakes illegal underground currency exchange ring in which his boss is enmeshed. Meanwhile, his shared secret with his father threatens to blow up their family. Abbas Amini’s skillful direction and gripping performances from the ensemble cast make this an edge-of-your seat tale of crime and its consequences.
