As the prime suspect, Kadir is arrested, and the media frenzy begins. Mike, who has always seen himself as Kadir's protector, steps in to clear his friend's name. But the deeper Mike digs, the more tangled the web becomes. Was Shorena the intended victim, or was Kadir the target?

With the trial underway and the jury deliberating Kadir's fate, Mike begins to question everything he thought he knew about his best friend-and himself.
