Living in postrevolutionary Tehran, Layla refuses to bow to the ayatollahs rules, resisting her mothers relentless attempts to find her a suitable husband. Instead, she embarks on an illicit affair with her art teacher Keyvan, and they tentatively imagine a future together. But the sudden death of her uncle, an outspoken journalist, raises many unanswered questions and when Laylas cousin, who is visiting from America, is arrested by the morality police, the Komiteh, Laylas plans for the future begin to unravel. Beneath the polished surface of upperclass Iranian life lies pain, fear and dark, dark secrets.
