An Egyptian gay couple return from The US to Egypt for a family emergency. The couple pretends to be friends in order to stay safe in this very homophobic environment, but coming back to Egypt already leaves Mo in anxiety and unease. Someone knows Mo's secret, and they leave him witchcraft at his door as a sort of threat and shame. Mo who pretends to be a modern American atheist, and free from the superstitions of his religion and culture, falls into terror after stepping into the witchcraft. His childhood terrors and deep religious fears will return to expose his shame to his boyfriend who didn't understand that Mo still views their relationship as sinful. This horrific experience will give Mo the confrontation he always feared, but he will fight back, and will eventually be liberated.
