Samad, a policeman of the anti-drug task force, is searching for Nasser Hakzad, a drug lord. After several rounds of confrontation, although Nasar had ostensibly committed suicide, Samad tracked him down in his residence. Nasar was sentenced to death after a series of legal proceedings. In the process, Samad began to realize that Nasser would take this road only to resist the pressure of life under the collapsing social order. Samad, who was promoted to police chief, tendered his resignation: he began to believe that years of arrests and executions had no solution to the drug problem, and that a series of violence had only increased the number of drug addicts from 1 million to 6.5 million.
