When the landlord of a busy apartment complex dies, his lack of apparent heir leaves the property up for grabs. As a result, Abbas, the overeager apartment manager, aims to secure his claim on the building by evicting all its residents and thereby cutting them out of contention. However, these renters prove wilier than Abbas expected, so he ups the ante by refusing to keep up the property. Soon the tenants take maintenance into their own hands -- with disastrous results.
