East Amman’s labyrinthine neighbourhood Jabal Al Natheef runs on a toxic brew of gossip and violence. Ali is a hustler who passes himself off as a regular businessman, trying to scam enough money to legitimise his relationship with Lana, his secret lover. Meanwhile, Lana’s mother is being blackmailed by someone claiming to have filmed Lana and Ali together; Ali knows someone who can fix this situation, but that kind of fix will only lead to another crisis of deception and revelation. Just one thing is certain: that the shadowy corners of the alleyways are crawling with secrets.
