Zeki Müller is a petty criminal down on his luck: His last coup yielded nothing but a prison sentence. Having just been released from custody he is eager to retrieve his lost loot. Destiny, however, has prepared otherwise and by a chain of unforeseen events Zeki ends up as an assistant teacher at a high school. His robust work methods irritate his colleagues, but turn out to be astoundingly efficient in handling the students in his challenging class. The new teacher's unconventional ways also draw the attention of pretty referendary Lisi. Being blessed with both professional and private success, Zeki starts to wonder whether he ever wants to return to his criminal career at all.
