Metin (Burat Yigit), a young German-Turkish guy, gets deported to Turkey after several offenses. In his now strange to him homeland he is torn between the humble fisherman’s life of his uncle Nihat and the dubious Istanbul nightlife. Metin impresses the local brothel’s pimp Müslüm with his strength and his money. Müslüm hires him and gives him the Ukrainian prostitute Irina (Meret Becker) for "training purposes". The two soon develop more than a professional relationship. Irina tries to break his naivity towards Müslüm and appeals to his conscience. But Metin seems happy until Müslüm finds out, Metin wasn’t being honest with him and he gets fired. Metin finds himself in a dangerous maelstrom of crime and double standards.
