The teachers' simple get-rich-quick plan to kidnap the child of a corrupt politician begins to unravel.

With local taxi driver Rami (Art Acuna) they attempt to extract a ransom from the boy's father, a prominent, corrupt and vengeful politician. But when the boy discovers the identity of one of his captors, their simple get-rich-quick plan begins to unravel.
