In Paris 10th arrondissement - the Turkish district - two police officers are trying to solve the mystery of the atrocious torture and subsequent killing of three clandestine Turkish women workers. As they investigate they discover that the "Grey Wolves", a ruthless group of far-right Turkish mafia members, might be responsible for these murders. Simultaneously, Anna finds out that she had highly complicated facial surgery and looks nothing like she did before. The link between her and the three victims becomes increasingly obvious and her past is revealed. She has no choice but to face an astonishing and horrible truth.
