When their father dies, two sisters must get their hands on the inheritance before their brother finds out and claims half of the money.
After discovering that their father left behind a large sum of money, Mariam and Noura reunite in Ramallah. They devise an elaborate scheme to withdraw the funds before their estranged brother — who is legally entitled to half the inheritance under Islamic law — finds out about their father’s death. As they race against time, the sisters must conceal the truth, navigate old tensions and test the limits of loyalty in a desperate bid to claim what they believe is rightfully theirs. As time runs out, moral lines blur and sibling wounds resurface
