Story
In the Iranian ghost town of Bad City, a lone vampire roams the streets. The townspeople are unaware that they are being stalked by this creature, who is particularly drawn to the most depraved denizens of the city. Among them is Hossein (Arash Marandi), a young man whose drug-addicted father has forced him into prostitution to feed his habit. One night, Hossein tries to rob a gas station owned by Attar (Marsh Mokhtari), who happens to be the vampire's latest victim. However, Attar sees through Hossein's plan and offers him a deal: he will not report him to the police if Hossein agrees to deliver a package for him. Meanwhile, the vampire, dressed in a chador, sees Hossein leaving the gas station and follows him home.
