The movie follows up an email, which says "you have won 9 million US dollars in 2011 Microsoft online lottery program", from the beginning to the end, by setting a date with the scammers in a specific location to receive the award in person. On the other side, it follows the real story of Vahid, a victim of the Internet fraud, who has lost thousands of dollars on the 2010 South Africa World Cup lottery email scam. His story is supported by 3 different interviews: a psychologist, a computer engineer and two cyber police colonels.

The production team were supposed to go to Dubai to meet with the scammers in person, but it was ignored later because of the safety reasons.
The idea of making this documentary came after a real incident where the victim had paid $90,000 US in order to receive his imaginary prize of $9,000,000.
