Amidst this oppression, a resistance emerges, led by a diverse group of heroes: Kay, a former drag queen; Bahadur, a transmasculine refugee; and Firuzeh, a headstrong social worker. Their combat efforts are guided by Beck, a rogue army officer. Together, they plan a daring uprising during a major televised international event, aiming to challenge the regime's control and fight for their freedom.
