Season 1
The first season follows Davood Ashraf, a mine worker whose life changes dramatically after he is arrested in connection with a murder. As the case unfolds, a series of events places him in direct conflict with the authorities, leading to a prolonged pursuit through the streets of Tehran. The season explores the consequences of crime, justice, and survival as Davood's circumstances gradually transform him into a fugitive.
Season 2
The second season continues the story of Davood Ashraf following the events of the first season. After his imprisonment and subsequent release, Davood becomes involved with a criminal organization led by Khosrow, forcing him further into Tehran's criminal underworld.
