Erdem, Sevil and their children Edip and Sevgi's lives start to change when Sevils mother suffers a stroke and they have to move to Istanbul. Ten years pass and by that time Edip is at a boarding school away from the family and Erdem is still pursuing the dream of becoming a good writer. Sevil is aware that Sevgis behavior has changed, that shes become introverted and unhappy, so she sets about to find out what the trouble is and discovers some dark secrets hidden behind closed doors. Things that cant be said, the scars left over from childhood, heavy silence, all break loose one day and leak through the cracks, causing a maelstrom that tears the family apart.
