Police officer Kobi Amar and the regional commander Yehuda Neumann have been partners for years. Now they are at a decisive moment in their relationship when one is forced to turn against the other.
Suddenly they are faced with an even larger conflict. They are plunged into a roller coaster-like night in which they are required to watch over a terrorist at a city hospital who is threatened by an angry, vengeful crowd that wants nothing more than the blood of the terrorist, his guards, and the hospital staff caring for him.
The tumultuous events of the night place Kobi and Neumann's moral and professional values at stake, as well as their long dedicated friendship.
