Adam is a young man from an Egyptian province who receives the news that he has won a scholarship to study at Al-Azhar University, a distinguished, Islamic institution in Cairo. While Adam starts settling and living a life at campus, the university’s highest ranking religious leader, the Grand Imam, suddenly dies. Soon after this sudden death, the election of a new Imam is imminent and Colonel Ibrahim is tasked by a military committee with fixing the election. The importance of the new cleric is significant due to the influence of future governmental decisions through announcements and rulings, thus the relevancy of the State’s security services regarding the new Imam. Adam is chosen as an informant by Zizo, Ibrahim’s exposed former pigeon. As a result, Adam is ordered to be Ibrahim’s eyes and ears in campus.
