The four-part miniseries centers on the harrowing events of October 7, portraying the intersecting lives of civilians caught in the chaos. Among them is Bat Sheva (Sela), a mother fleeing with her daughters as her son is abducted; Ohad (Leon), a devoted father who becomes a symbol of ultimate sacrifice; and Ayoub (Sulliman), who mourns the loss of his wife while hiding with his infant behind enemy lines. The story also follows Nofar (Amsalem), a border police officer wounded while protecting others, and her colleague Liat. Kobi (Atias), an anti-terror officer, charges into danger to rescue his wife, while Tali (Sara Vino), a determined mother, becomes an unexpected hero in the search for her injured son, Itamar (Katan).
