A young cleaning woman, steals a bike to make extra cash, unknowingly entangling herself in the city's bike-theft mafia. Quickly rising to become the chief lock-picker, she initially enjoys the income but soon feels trapped by the gang’s ruthless leader. Desperate to escape, she flees to the countryside and discovers a mysterious door in an abandoned house’s basement. The door transports her back in time to the moment before she stole the first bike.
Caught in a relentless time loop, Fatma repeatedly steals the bike and confronts the gang, each cycle bringing her closer to understanding her predicament. Determined to break free, she begins to plan meticulously, to wage her struggle against the gang. Despite her best efforts, she is forced to go through the portal repeatedly, refining her strategies and learning from each failure.
She leverages her growing knowledge of the "Art of War," honing her tactics with each iteration. Inch by inch, she edges closer to reclaiming her freedom and dismantling the bike-theft mafia from within, battling not just for survival but for control over her fate.
