Restless and young, best buddies Selim and Çaça live a meager existence on the outskirts of Istanbul. By day they breed pigeons on the roof, by night they roam the streets with their entourage in their pimped-up car, "My Orange Angel". Their neighborhood's view of the city's gigantic business towers accelerates their ambitions. The two buddies want to open their own parking-lot business near a gigantic mall, and they just might get lucky, since they're supported by the local mafia boss.

İstanbul'un varoşlarında geçen Kara Köpekler Havlarken, Selim ve Çaça isminde iki mahalle delikanlısının, prestij kazanma, sınıf atlama çabalarını ve şehirde verdikleri yaşam mücadelesini anlatıyor.
