When a brother and sister, two Egyptian young adults experience sex outside the boundaries of society's acceptance and approval, they have to confront their personal beliefs and social value system... they find themselves caught up in a web of multiple standards, lies and hypocrisy.
The ultimate test for morality is an easily replaceable piece of flesh but no one seems to admit that.
