Ahmet is married to Sevgi who runs a hair salon in town and their marriage has not been on track for some time. Ahmet suspects his wife has been cheating on him. Ahmet’s insecure and anxious state reaches its peak when he notices a foreigner in town.  One night, at an old gas station out of town, Mehmet's phone rings. Ahmet is at the end of the line, panicked and in fear. Mehmet realizes that he has no choice to help his brother. In this long and dark night, the two siblings unexpectedly find themselves in the middle of a homicide they have committed.
