After ten years in the US, where he trained as an ophthalmologist, Taoufik returns to Casablanca. Assisted by his beautiful wife Sophia, he wants to start a new practice. While attending a congress in Tangier, they stay in a luxurious hotel. Then the nightmare starts. The drink they are given in their hotel contains a powerful narcotic. While Taoufik lies unconscious on the bed, Sophia is kidnapped, raped and thrown back out into the street. When he comes round, Taoufik visits his brother Kamel, a policeman, and steals his pistol. Then he goes to the building where his wife was raped. In the fight that breaks out, he shoots one of his attackers. Just when he is about to give himself up, he finds out that the dead man is a senior police officer.
