Eyüp, Servet's normal driver, lives with his wife and son next to the railroad tracks in the poor coastal Yedikule neighborhood of Istanbul.

If his role in the fatal accident becomes public, it would end his political career, so he asks Eyüp to take responsibility and serve the consequent prison sentence, which he thinks will be 6-12 months.

In exchange Servet will give him a lump sum payment upon his release and pay his salary while he is in jail to his family so they can get by.

An unspecified time passes, summer arrives, and Eyüp's son, İsmail, fails his college entrance exam again.

His mother, Hacer, who works as a kitchen assistant, starts worrying about him because of his dubious acquaintances and his injuries from fighting and tries to convince him to get a job.

More unspecified time passes; İsmail finds out his mother is having an affair with Servet and confronts her but does not tell his father.

Eyüp makes the same proposition to the poor man, Bayram, that Servet made to him: to claim the crime committed by his son.

The site's critical consensus reads, "Exploring the effects of a family's dealings with an underhanded politician, this crime drama avoids showing the violent outcomes of its characters' misdeeds, resulting in a lingeringly potent film.
