Alya’s life — the quiet happiness she had built in Canada with her husband Boran and their little son — collapses in an instant. After a car crash in which Alya was behind the wheel, Boran dies, and she brings his body to Mardin, to her husband’s homeland where his family lives, to bury him where his story began.
She plans to take care of what matters most and fly back to Canada the very next day. But Mardin doesn’t meet her with sympathy — it meets her with rules, where tradition matters more than the law. While Boran’s brothers try to figure out whether a longtime enemy of the family could be behind the tragedy, Alya faces the most immediate threat of all: her husband’s own family. Boran’s mother openly blames Alya for her son’s death — and has no intention of forgiving her.
Feeling like an outsider in the Albora household and their culture, Alya plans to leave Mardin with her son right after the funeral and return to Canada. But in this world, Alya’s choices no longer belong to her alone. Cihan steps in, shattering her plans. On the day of the funeral, danger becomes real: a family enemy attacks Alya — and it is Cihan who saves her.
After the burial, Alya realizes the truth: they won’t let her go that easily. She is told she can travel wherever she wants, but her son will stay with her husband’s family. From that moment on, every “choice” turns into a trap. Seeing no other way out, Alya makes a desperate decision — to flee the mansion without warning anyone. She nearly manages to slip away with her son, but Cihan spots her. Now the question isn’t whether she can return to Canada. It’s whether she can save her child in time — before foreign rules, family power, and an old feud pull them both into a war that not everyone survives.
