He feels a connection to a woman that he hasn’t felt since his wife tragically passed away. But Deniz tells a very different version of events. So, what happened that night? Nobody knows except Deniz and Mehmet Emir. They each describe the night very differently. They embark on a tense, breathless adventure in pursuit of the truth. All they have to do is prove that the other is lying.
