A thriller that follows former political prisoners who kidnap a man they suspect of being their former tormentor.

When a man and his family hit a dog with their car, they have no idea about the unexpected chain of events this accident will set in motion. Stopping at a garage to have their car repaired, they meet mechanic Vahid. Recognising the man, Vahid is shaken – believing him to be his torturer from his time in an Iranian prison.

The following day, Vahid kidnaps the man, intending to exact his vengeance. But as doubts start to creep in, he turns to a loose circle of other victims for confirmation. As they deal with their past and diverging worldviews, the group struggles to decide: is this definitely their torturer? What would retribution actually mean, and can they carry it out?
