Overview
The film is about the life of a bandit. Ismail, who is a bandit with his gang, falls in love with Fatma, whom he sees during a robbery, and keeps her in the mountains. One day, Ismail and his gang are caught by the gendarmerie and sent to prison. However, they are released after a while due to an amnesty. Ismail no longer wants to be a bandit in the mountains. He moves to Istanbul with his wife Fatma and his men and starts a business. However, Ismail, who has started a new life in Istanbul, will become involved in crime through his business dealings.
