Joko is a young man supporting his entire family on a dead-end factory job. One day on his way to work, someone jumps on his back, and orders him to transport them around the city. At first he rebels against this humiliation, but relents under peer pressure and the promise of money. This new work slowly dominates him, mentally and literally, physically overwhelming him.
