The plot centers around a journalist (Galal), who investigates the large-scale murder cases of women amidst security services search for the killer (El Sawy). The forces are tipped off that the killer is influenced by the character of “Hunchback of Notre-Dame“, the lead character of the French romantic novel by Victor Hugo.

The journalist comes up with a plan to grab the killer’s attention, which is through seeking the help of a doctor (Adel), and calling himself Ahmed Notre Dame, in an attempt to lure the killer with his “likeness” of Notre Dame.

Indeed, the killer begins to search for “Ahmed Notre Dame”, especially as they both love the same character. They meet and become friends, and soon the protagonist learns the reason behind the killings, which is due to the killer’s suffering from a complication in his life that made him hate women and seeks to revenge against them.
