Farah (Demet Özdemir) is a 28-year-old Iranian woman. While fleeing from Iran to France 6 years ago, she had to stop in Istanbul because she learned that she was pregnant. She begins to live there as an illegal immigrant. Moreover, her son Kerimşah' (Rastin Pakhanad) has a rare disease. Since the immune system is very weak from birth, Kerimşah is open to diseases. Therefore, he has to live in a sterile environment. Despite having a medical education, Farah works illegally as a cleaner in Istanbul. Farah's goal in life is for her son Kerimşah to get healthy and to have a life like normal children. She will save money as soon as possible and complete her son's treatment and go to France again. But Farah's world is turned upside down overnight. She witnesses a murder committed by the mafia in a place she goes to clean and meets Tahir Lekesiz (Engin Akyürek). Farah, at the cost of her life, cleans the scene without leaving any traces. However, since she is an eyewitness to the murder, the mafia wants her killed and this task is given to Tahir. Tahir is a lonely man who grew up with the mafia leader. Things get even more difficult for Farah when it turns out that the deceased was a cop. On the other hand, the police are being pressured by Mehmet (Fırat Tanış). Tahir and Farah will also be tested with the emotions they cannot avoid in this life-or-death dilemma.
