One night, their twenty-three-year-old daughter Rania knocks over a man while driving home.

For the first time in a long while, Nayla does some deep soul-searching. Her relationship with her husband worsens. But the injured man's condition suddenly deteriorates and he dies. Rania is taken to prison.
