The film, which brings Turkey's recent political agenda to the big screen, highlights the effects of recent events on the present day and their traces in political life. The coup, which took place on February 7, 2012, when Hakan Fidan, the Undersecretary of the National Intelligence Organization (MİT), was summoned for questioning as a suspect in the KCK investigation, centers on the causes and consequences of the MİT crisis. The film will also address the placement of listening devices, known as "bugs," in the offices of some high-ranking officials, including the prime minister.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2015.
