Ahmet toils in Istanbul's lowest rung of petty crime, berated even by other thieves, who call him the Leech. Snatching a man's briefcase and stealing his car, he accidentally kills a detective; when a manhunt ensues, Ahmet strains to flee the country, emboldened by the cash packed in the briefcase. Murat (Tarık Akan), the dead detective's partner, sets out on his own path of vengeance, while Ahmet's cruel desperation forces him into taking hostages to evade the police.
