After the death of Mu'awiyah, son of Abu Sufyan, Yazid ibn Mu'awiyah calls himself Caliph of the Muslims and writes a letter to the governor of Medina asking Imam Hussein to pay Allegiance. Bukair ibn Harr, who has been chosen as the special courier of the court of Yazid ibn Mu'awiyah, is commissioned to deliver the letter of Yazid ibn Mu'awiyah to Medina. He is an agile and energetic young man who is striving for the truth. In Medina, he realizes that he is the bearer of a letter in which Imam Hussein was ordered to be killed. In Mecca Bukair gets acquainted with the thoughts and line of thought of Imam Hussein (Imam Shiites).

The people Kufa have sent many letters inviting Imam Hussein to Kufa to help them in the uprising against Yazid, the son of Mu'awiyah. Har Ibn Yazid Riahi, along with Bukair and two thousand riders, are ordered by Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad to go to the caravan of Imam Hussein, which is moving towards Kufa. A small number of Imam Hussein's caravans are besieged by thousands of Yazid soldiers in Karbala. They realized their mistake, they decided to take refuge in the camp of Hussein Ibn Ali and they are martyred along with him.
