Galia (Olga Kurylenko of "Quantum of Solace" and Neil Marshall's "Centurion") is an assassin involved, against her will, with the local sex-traffic mafia. All she wants is to be reunited with her little daughter who she left back home in the Ukraine.
Elinor (Ninet Tayeb) is a grocery store cashier and a battered wife. She dreams of winning the lottery and running away from her abusive husband.
Although they don't know one another other, Galia and Elinor share two things: a common wall and a strong need to escape. As Galia disobeys her latest contract and Elinor discovers that she's pregnant, the two women decide to take action against their oppressors in a fight for survival and freedom.
