Synopsis

The film takes on Ali, a member of a wealthy family, and his shared infatuation with a night club worker by the name of Tülay. Ali and Tülay want to get married. Though Ali’s father disapproves of the union at first, he eventually gives in. But the owner of the night club that Tülay works at, Ejdar Hasan, also has his eye on her. Hasan proposes a large sum of money to Tülay as a measure to convince her not to get married to Ali. When Ali’s father ups the offer, Hasan resorts to other plans. The day of the marriage, Hasan and his men cut off the wedding motorcade. In the conflict that arises, Ali’s father is killed. In retaliation, Ali kills a few of Hasan’s men, and lands himself in prison. During the transfer from the courthouse to prison, Ali escapes in order to exact his revenge
