During a night shift, two thieves attempt to break into the premises. Jalil responds with a non-regulation firearm, wounding one of them. The incident places him under scrutiny as the police, including his former colleagues, begin looking for the person responsible. As Jalil attempts to deal with the wounded thief, the investigation develops into a trap aimed at him.
