Ayla, a hotel management trainee, witnesses a shocking crime when a wealthy guest tries to rape a teenage girl. Although the assailant buys his way out of court, Ayla is unjustly convicted for assault. This experience opens her eyes to a harsh truth: society often overlooks ongoing wrongs to preserve its sense of stability. Frustrated by what she sees as systemic indifference, Ayla begins to channel her anger into a plan with her boyfriend, Hugo. Together they launch a provocative YouTube channel called “Frank,” where they document their robbery heists in the hope of stirring a reaction and forcing people to confront the power imbalances that fueled the crime.
