Synopsis:

Aiming to launch a genocidal conversion campaign, a religious terrorist group is advancing towards the town of Sinjar. A town in northern Iraq, where the Yazidis live. As per Islamic guidelines, Yazidis are considered Infidels and Devil Worshippers, and terrorists believe it’s their religious task to wipe them off the face of the earth. Iraqi Kurdish fighters who have defended and protected the Yazidis for a long time must now withdraw and escape Sinjar as they did not receive the support and backup they thought they would. They must now leave the defenseless Yazidi civilians to face their bitter fates. Now, the terrorists are at the gates of Sinjar. Kurdish fighters who have put up a big fight till now killed a few of terrorists’ valuable lieutenants and a considerable number of their soldiers, do not even have any time left to inform the Yazidi civilians that they’ll be on their own.

Fero, Roni, and Olan, the three best friends in their late 20s, are three childhood friends and next-door neighbors who have a reputation for being thoughtless, careless, drunk, and womanizers who only care about themselves what gives them pleasure. Terrorists attack, and a group of defenseless citizens decides they must escape town. Taking the strike as a joke initially, the three friends quickly realize they must get serious and defend their fellow citizens. Despite having no military background or any special pieces of training, the three friends escort a group of people, mainly women, and children, to a safe nearby mountain. Can they escort their people to safety without anyone getting hurt or abducted?
