Tariq (Yunus Cumartpay), an unassuming Iraqi student, has gathered four men around him. They do not realise that he is planning a terrorist attack and wants to blow up a crowded underground train with bombs.

Through the financial aid of his supposed friend, the Turkish taxi driver ends up in a precarious situation. To even out the debts, Tariq demands a very high price. The Bosnian, Sarajevo (Kasem Hoxha), ends up with the terror group only through coincidence. Traumatised by his experiences of the war, he has nothing to lose and is prepared to do anything.

With his clever manner, he manages to keep a fatal secret for a long time.
