In September 2012, the film gained notoriety in a viral video on YouTube that features the main character Zeynep (played by Akın) fatally shooting antagonist Ferruh (played by Bülent Kayabaş[4]) multiple times as he lets out several drawn-out screams until he falls to his death. The video, entitled "Worst movie death scene ever", has gained more than 17 million views since being uploaded on 26 September 2012.[4][5][6][7] Though the cited clip was edited from the original to add the long screams, viewers noted that the screams—as well as the slow-motion action of the actor being shot—only adds to the humor of the video.[8] It was also parodied in the Regular Show episode "Every Meat Burritos".

Zeynep lives with her old father. She has lost her ability to speak because of an accident. She needs an operation in order to be able to talk again. One day, five prison fugitives come to their house and kill Zeynep's father. The fugitives take their money and attack. Due to the shock, Zeynep regains her ability to speak. The fugitives are arrested but Zeynep wants to take revenge, therefore she says that the fugitives are not the ones who have attacked them. The police appoints Murat to make her give a statement. Murat teaches her how to use a gun and some karate, but she still doesn't know he is a cop. They fall in love and decide to get married. On their wedding, the prisoners kill Murat. Nothing can stop Zeynep now from taking revenge. She becomes a policewoman and traces the fugitives one by one.
