Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan. Rojin is preparing for the university admission exam. If she fails, she will be forced to marry and will end up like her sister Shilan, oppressed by a conservative husband. In order to help Rojin realise her dream of emancipation, Shilan tries to help her by any means necessary, including contacting someone who is willing, for a fee, to give her the exact answers to the test. The two sisters will end up facing the vast network of corruption that encompasses all layers of society.
