Deşifre is a wealthy, international terrorist who also controls the properties of terrorist organizations worldwide.

But faced with the high level of security at the summit and several other factors that he hadn't taken into consideration, the summit becomes a nightmare for him.

The Turkish secret service calls on their number one agent, K9, to capture Deşifre. Thus K9 and his beautiful colleague, Ayşe Kosovalı, begin their pursuit of Deşifre and his gang.
