Abbas, known as "Abbas Chakhan," is a driver’s apprentice who is alone and has a stutter, constantly weaving tall tales. One night, he accidentally meets Banafsheh, who has ended up in a notorious neighborhood in search of her dreams, yet she is still determined to free herself from that place and have a home of her own. Abbas promises Banafsheh that he will help her. After she learns that Abbas has been imprisoned due to a small debt, she borrows money from a loan shark named Mohammad, known as "Mohammad the Dagger," to free Abbas.
