His son Cengiz is studying at university, while his daughter Zeliha is at home waiting for a husband. One day, Ragıp is hit by a car while driving. Four young people, who have many things they want to do but cannot afford, kidnap Ragıp, thinking he can provide them with the means to do so. They claim to be a secret organization and demand a ransom. His wife Dürdane informs the police, explaining that she is being threatened for ransom.
