The Turkish squad assumes it to be a usual visit of their allies...But this time, it is different.
With the changing conjuncture, the USA aims to be the only power “to have the last word” in the region. To them, no Turks are needed in the region...

That day, eleven soldiers are deported with sacks on their heads and with their military pride disregarded before the eyes of the public...

Until this point, everything in the movie tells a true story...

The letter is written to Polat Alemdar, a privately and well trained Turkish intelligencer. He took part in countless operations both within the country and abroad for an intelligence agency working for the state...
