Kemal works as a watchman in a villa belonging to a shady businessman. One day, late at night when he’s on the bus, a peculiar man gets on, sits nearby, leaves a book on his seat, and gets off. Kemal aimlessly browses through the pages of the book titled IDEA, and puts it back down. His life turns into living hell after that night. He is accused of an unspecified crime, and all his attempts to figure things out are in vain. Thereafter, he is treated as the leader of a secret organisation and he finds himself gradually turning into that person.
