In the holy city of Mashhad in the East of Iran, sex workers are being targeted and killed, which the local press identifies as a religious cleansing. When a journalist comes all the way from Tehran, the capital city, to investigate this series of murders, she faces a great deal of obstacles and takes high risks to uncover the truth. Based on a true story taking place in Iran between August 2000 and July 2001.
