When idling young punk Nawaf sees a family outside their palatial house piling into their car to go on holiday, he seizes his chance to see how the other half lives. That night he breaks in, sprawls on their comfortable couch and turns on Netflix. It is only when a very large man appears carrying a rifle that he realizes he is not alone – and that his miserable life is about to become a lot more complicated. Challenged to a game of Carrom, Nawaf knows he has to win or die.
