The film tells the story of a hired killer who is driven to destruction while trying to rescue his father from prison. Murat is a hired killer who works for a mafia boss nicknamed Kont. Murat's father, Vedat, has been imprisoned on false charges. However, Murat does everything he can to rescue his father. In response, witnesses to the incident are killed one by one. The culprits behind this are Kont and his men. Kont wants Vedat to be punished, while also thwarting Murat's efforts. Murat plans to flee with his family without resolving the case. However, he loses his family when a bomb is placed in the car. Following this incident, Murat will set out to track down Kont and his associates.
