After her divorce, Sarah is raising her son Nino alone and is having trouble coping with his hostile behavior. Her financial situation doesn't allow for meat on the table more than twice a week. Nino proposes a dishonest solution, but his mother won't hear of it.

Sarah goes to work at the frozen food factory as usual, but her day is anything but ordinary. Temptation gets the best of her as her son's unethical suggestion echoes in her mind and drives her to do something she would never have imagined possible.

Sarah goes back to work feeling uneasy after having stolen a steak for her son the day before. Her colleague, whom she fancies, invites her for drinks. To her relief, he has no idea about the theft, so she is delighted to take him up on his offer.

Sarah invites her coworker Eddy over for dinner to meet her son Nino. After seeing Eddy kiss Sarah on his way out, Nino gets angry and lashes out at his mother.

Nino visits Eddy's workplace as arranged. However, things get out of control when Nino becomes confrontational. Meanwhile the manager arrives and is angry that a stranger was allowed on the company premises. Nino seems pleased with himself and decides to play a dirty trick on Eddy.

Nino comes home from Eddy and his mother's workplace and recounts the incident with Nicole, the manager who threw him out. He fails to mention that Eddy caught him stealing some merchandise.

The situation escalates at the frozen food company where Sarah works. Eddy's recipes and some merchandise have gone missing. The timing of the burglary coincides with Nino's late night out. Sarah confronts him, but he is indignant and assures his mother that he had nothing to do with the theft.

Sarah is desperate as she faces a terrible situation and wrongful accusations. She is about to lose her job over a theft that she didn't commit.

Sarah is at a complete loss when fate intervenes in her favor. As she leaves work in despair, she happens to overhear a telephone conversation that will turn the tables for her.
