The eminent cardiologist, Dr. Maher Mourad, who lost his reputation upon the death of his patient on the operating table, realizes that the survival of his patient, who turns out to be a drug dealer, would have allowed the smuggling of a high dose of drugs to the country leading to endangering the lives of many young people and the death of his only son.
