Middle-aged HAKKI lives in a historical Aegean village with his family. He provides for them by selling statuettes in front of the nearby ancient city as well as guiding local tours. The region harbors business opportunities as touristic interest booms; however, HAKKI fails to catch the trend. One day, he finds a historical artifact in his garden by chance and sells it for a car's price, later he finds out the actual value of the artifact is a hundred times higher.

He is now obsessed, sacrifices much of his life and takes on a dark journey for both him and his family.
