Разрываемый войной Багдад. Старьевщик Хади собирает останки погибших в терактах жителей города, чтобы сделать из их органов фантастическое существо, которое, ожив, начинает мстить обидчикам жертв. Сатирическое переосмысление классического "Франкенштейна" Мэри Шелли, роман Саадави – трагикомический портрет тех, кто живет в постоянном страхе почти без надежды на…

From the rubble-strewn streets of US-occupied Baghdad, the junk dealer Hadi collects human body parts and stitches them together to create a corpse. His goal, he claims, is for the government to recognize the parts as people and give them a proper burial. But when the corpse goes missing, a wave of eerie murders sweeps the city, and reports stream in of a horrendous-looking criminal who, though shot, cannot be killed. Hadi soon realizes he's created a monster, one that needs human flesh to survive – first from the guilty, and then from anyone who crosses his path. As the violence escalates and Hadi's acquaintances – a journalist, a government worker and a lonely old woman – become involved, the ‘Whatsitsname’ and the havoc it wreaks assume a magnitude far greater than anyone could have imagined.
