Based on a true story: Two gunmen, Khaled and Salim, arrive at a Tel Aviv coffee shop to carry out a terrorist attack. Both are dressed in suits so as not to arouse suspicion. After Khaled gives Salim the final instructions, they both begin shooting at the innocent bystanders. On a nearby street, a woman and her policeman husband (Yael and Itay) encounter Salim who has fled the scene. While Itay rushes to the crime scene, Yael stays with Salim, and invites him to her apartment without knowing his identity.
