In the bustling city of Istanbul, Salih and Ayşe struggle to sustain their lives with their 6-year-old mute son. Salih got fired and Ayşe sells insurance over the phone through a home office system. They decide to explore a new job opportunity —motorcycle taxi driving. They sign up to the system under Salih’s name. Ayşe also starts carrying passengers, posing as Salih, hiding her identity under a closed helmet and never speaks to anyone. Their new work unveils a hidden Istanbul until Rosinante, their motorcycle, is stolen.
