The two have a hard life and must survive under the rules of the jungle if they want to achieve their purposes. Both want to be ritch and will not stop until achieving it. The plan that Dounia and Maimuna have is to closely follow the footsteps of a drug trafficker who traps the neighborhood, a marginal zone dominated by drugs, mafias and radical Islam. Dounia wants to be a powerful and successful woman and Maimuna will help her to get it, she is her best friend. For this reason, Dounia and Maimuna dare to challenge the rules of Rebecca, that drug trafficker who is respected and feared throughout the area.
