Accused of helping a teenage boy on the run\, newlywed Palestinian schoolteacher\, Layal finds herself incarcerated in a top security Israeli prison for Palestinian and Israeli women. After Layal discovers that she is pregnant\, the prison director pressures her to abort the baby and spy on the Palestinian inmates.

When prison conditions deteriorate and the Palestinian prisoners decide to strike\, the prison director warns her against joining the strike and threatens to take her child away.
