The film tells the story of a man who enters the world of crime for the happiness and education of his children. Kartal leaves his village and moves to Istanbul with his two sons due to the feudal system. However, Istanbul does not offer them the life they had imagined. They live in poverty for a long time. In a moment of despair, Kartal is offered the chance to carry out an execution. Though he initially refuses, he eventually feels compelled to accept. However, escaping the criminal underworld will not be easy.
