Two very different men find themselves sharing a night of danger and suspense: 19-year-old Ami, a killer turned state witness, and 52-year-old Itzhak, head of a religious yeshiva. They have to combine forces if they are to save the woman they both love, 17-year-old Moriya, Itzhak’s daughter. Moriya has been kidnapped by the felons against whom Ami is supposed to testify.

During this long night of twists and turns, Ami and Itzhak discover that they are more similar than they ever could have imagined.
