At the center of the plot are Assi (Zahavi) and Nivi (Yuval Sharaf), divorced parents of a girl with a rare form of epilepsy (Emmanuel Pepper, the real daughter of Uri Viyal). No medicine can control this epilepsy except for special cannabis oil, which she receives as part of a clinical study and prevents her from brain damage (in the role of researcher: Alma Dishi). A frightening event in the premiere episode leads to the termination of the research, and the cannabis strain in question is confiscated and sent to be destroyed in a truck. This truck, and what is waiting for it, are the key to the continuation of the affair.
