Din Islam lives with his family in a small village near Chittagong, the largest port city in Bangladesh. To feed his family, Din and his close friend Amin head off to the city to look for work. After a long and disappointing day, they stroll around the darker parts of the city, looking for a place to sleep. Their decision to sleep in an empty cargo container turns out to be a serious mistake which takes them farther away from home than they ever dreamed of. The next morning the doors of the container are closed and they are on a journey into an uncertain future, which puts their friendship and lives to the test.
