Uri Barbash's tense political drama takes place at an Israeli army base, where a military police investigator, Rafa, comes to investigate the suspicious death of a Palestinian during interrogation. The official report states that death occurred while the suspect attempted to escape. But Rafa quickly discovers a cover-up and must decide whether to betray his army comrades by telling the truth or betray his conscience by joining the cover-up.
