It doesn't take long for the station owner, Ethem Bey, to notice the money missing from the cash register. Kutay and Yusuf, who are trying to find a way to replace the money, are fired when they can’t manage it. But as they leave, they take the car left at the station with them! The friends, whose paths cross with Osman Nuri and Selman, find themselves caught up in an inescapable mafia and hostage-taking/kidnapping adventure!
