The railway station in a small town in Western Anatolia where no birds or caravans pass, during the most active and critical days of the National War of Independence in 1921. One is the station chief remakasman, who lost his eye and the other foot on the front, and the other was left with caries, and the other was the wife of the station chief. and it processes their blindness to such an extent that they cannot realize the total War of Independence against it. But it is not their individual flaws or weaknesses, but poverty, loneliness, and abandonment to their destiny that drives them to this situation. Because of such adverse conditions, they fall into depression. The Station Chief, who is extremely jealous of his wife, thinks he is cheating on himself with his switchman. Over time, this thought gnaws his brain so much that it plays checkers with the Scissor, as an example of Russian Roulette. The trigger is pressed with every move made. And finally he pulls his gun to kill his wife and him. Yet the gun is empty. This is a thriller created by the author. For they will only get rid of this crisis and obsession, not by such events, but by the enlightenment of their darkened minds. It is the Passenger who will achieve this. Indeed, he comes at the height of the conflict. He tells about his enemy, who progresses to the interior of Anatolia, and the struggle against him. He expresses his anger at the bandits and collaborators who cross the road and collect tribute from the peasantry. Passenger's joy and anger are also very different from them. They are inevitably affected, their worlds all change in an instant.
