Concerned for her husband's whereabouts, Salma was informed by the police he was last seen entering a hotel room. It emerges Amer was a frequent patron, reserving the same room each time. On this occasion though no one saw him leave.
When Salma asks Murad Al-Joukhdar, Dean of the Law Faculty, for his help he politely declines. Nevertheless, intrigued by the details he starts looking into the case.
Murad's private enquires into the case lead to a clash between him and Detective Yousef. Murad finds himself in trouble when the missing persons case becomes a murder case.
Murad's sharing of information with the police only leads to reservations about himself rather than answering Detective Yousef's questions.
Attention turns to a young girl who may have witnessed the crime. Harbouring a lingering suspicion of her involvement in Amer's departure, Murad confronts Salma.
Salma informs Murad someone has been using her husband's credit card. A plan to track down the suspect goes awry and Murad finds himself implicated in a second murder.
