Overview

In the heart of Riyadh, where desperation and opportunity collide, Fahad Algadaani, a mentally fragile man races against time to save his ailing father. As his world crumbles under the weight of financial burden and societal indifference, Fahad’s life takes an unexpected turn when he is forced to make ends meet as a humble delivery mandoob (Arabic for courier). However, a chance encounter uncovers a dark underbelly of the city - one thriving on illegal dealings and illicit activities. Thrusted into the vestibules of the rapidly growing city, Fahad is confronted with a dangerous proposition that promises to solve all his monetary woes. Yet, this tantalising opportunity comes at a great cost and he must risk everything he holds dear, including his principles and the fragile sanity he clings to.
