Accused of subversion by the post-Revolution government and blacklisted from medical college, she is coming to terms with her new life as a housewife. With Tehran under the constant threat of aerial bombardment, her husband is drafted and sent to the frontlines by the army, leaving Shideh all alone to protect their young daughter, Dorsa. Soon after he leaves, a missile hits their apartment building and while failing to explode, a neighbour dies under mysterious circumstances and Dorsa's behaviour becomes increasingly erratic. Shideh finds herself slowly drawn into the ensuing turmoil. Searching for answers, she learns from a superstitious neighbor that the cursed missile might have brought with it a djinn a malevolent Middle-Eastern spirit that travels on the wind.

  In 1988 Tehran, Shideh's attempts to rejoin medical school are thwarted as a consequence of her politically active history. Her husband is sent off to serve in the Iran-Iraq War while Iraqi air raids draw perilously close to their own apartment. As neighbours and friends flee from a city in chaos she is left alone with her daughter Dorsa who becomes increasingly ill and seemingly disturbed. Shideh initially dismisses her tantrums over a missing doll but is soon terrified they've been targeted by a djinn - a malevolent spirit that steals from those it seeks to possess.
