Restless and young, best buddies Selim and ÇaÇa struggle to get by while living on the outskirts of Istanbul. By day they raise pigeons on their roof. By night they drive their pimped-up car, ‘My Orange Angel’ and roam the city streets with their entourage. Selim dreams of marrying his girlfriend and owning his own business with ÇaÇaif only he can keep the unpredictable ÇaÇa under control. They’re looking for their big break, and figure that their relationship with the local mafia boss will help them open up their own parking-lot business near a high-end shopping mall. But everyone wants a slice of the cake and the mall’s dodgy security contractor, Sait, is not so willing to let his ‘turf’ slide to these up-and-coming lads. Plus, the cops are on the boys’ tail to gather evidence against the mafia’s now ‘legalized’ activities. It isn’t long before Selim and ÇaÇa’s dreams will be shattered when they find themselves in water over their heads.
