 Sinan, a young lieutenant in the Turkish army, is ordered to hand over his brother Kenan to a military tribunal for a crime he does not know whether he has committed. Türker Süer's first film narrates the claustrophobic 48-hour transfer to the city where the trial is to be held. During the journey, news of the outbreak of the coup d'état arrives and Sinan will see his political convictions and loyalty put to the test by a country that demands ever-tighter obedience, while hatred and violence grow daily. In a night that seems to go on forever, both must decide if they are willing to sacrifice themselves for their duty, or if it is time to defend the family and abandon an outdated system and flee forever.
