Until now Selim and ChaCha had been working for the car park mafia in Istanbul. On learning of the opportunity to take over the security of a luxury shopping centre in the city centre, they believe themselves to have stumbled upon an opportunity of a lifetime. They don't, however, reckon with the unruliness of the current head of security and the vengeance of their former patron.
Alongside the thriller plot the film shows an absorbing portrait of youth beyond the clichéd images of postcard idyll and street life, in which downtown Istanbul is presented as an oppressive city characterised by mutual dependencies.
