Hadi is an old man who spends his leisure time telling stories in coffee shops, one of the strange residents among the ruins of baghdad under us occupation.

In addition to the debris he collects from ruined houses, garbage piles, explosion sites, there are actually very strange things: body parts. the main purpose of bringing these parts together to create a body -according to its claim- is for the government to recognize them as humans and give them a definition they deserve. But one day the body disappears, and immediately after that, a wave of creepy murders begins to sweep the city.

according to the expressions, the killer is not injured or even killed when shot

moreover, it looks like a scary monster. And thus, hadi realizes that he has created a monster that needs a human body to survive, a revenge machine that is after past accounts.
