SYNOPSIS:

In a nameless fictional city, a mass murder shakes the heart of downtown: seven people are found dead inside The Yashkan, a wildly popular juice bar. Three customers are discovered unconscious at the scene — the only survivors. When they wake, each one points at a different person as the killer. Major Hassan Shami, the detective assigned to the case, begins interviewing the three witnesses separately. The first, a young man named Adam Bellal, claims he watched a disturbed young woman pull out a gun and open fire. The second, a journalist named Samira Khamis, insists it was a mysterious old man dressed entirely in black who walked straight into the owner's office and came out with blood on his hands. The third, a businessman named Salim Sadqi, says it was a young male robber who panicked when a security guard moved against him. Each account is vivid, specific — and completely contradicts the others. External CCTV footage confirms the order in which the three entered the building, but resolves nothing about what happened inside. The interior cameras were conveniently sent for maintenance the day before the crime, on the owner's own instructions. As Shami digs into each survivor's background, new cracks appear. Adam had just been released from prison that very morning — yet tells a story about his imprisonment that defies all official records. Samira was obsessed with the bar's owner, convinced he was using some form of chemical manipulation in his drink. Salim, who ran a competing juice shop that went bankrupt after The Yashkan opened, admits he sent fake maintenance workers to steal the venue's security cameras — hoping to uncover the drink's secret recipe. When Shami visits the crime scene alone and drinks from the storage tank, the power suddenly cuts out. Confused, he drives away — only for the lights to return the moment he unknowingly drinks a can of soda laced with the same substance. The pattern clicks. Forensic lab results on a sample of The Yashkan drink show nothing unusual: water, sugar, fruit flavoring, food-grade additives. Yet when Salim recreates the recipe perfectly, it tastes like plain water to everyone — except Adam, who recognizes the flavor as the water he refused to drink in prison because it tasted wrong. The four — Shami, Adam, Samira, and Salim — piece it together: the city's electricity has been out for a long time. There is no power. But no one has noticed, because The Yashkan's formula has been flowing through the city's water supply for months, creating a collective hallucination. The drink doesn't make you see things — it makes you believe whatever you want to believe. And the moment you stop wanting to believe it, reality breaks through. The owner of The Yashkan — fired from the city's electrical authority for proposing "insane" solutions to a blackout crisis — had found his own solution. He spiked the water supply. The city forgot the crisis ever happened. The Yashkan itself serves plain water. As the four survivors form an unlikely team to expose the truth, they must decide: who wakes the city up, and who keeps them inside the dream long enough to find a way to purify the water supply before everything collapses.
