Plot

Marla, having settled in Turkey a few years prior, has carved out a life teaching English in a prestigious local language school.

Yet, her recent decision to keep the baby despite the dissolution of her marriage to an enigmatic Iranian artist sets the stage for a series of eerie and malevolent events to unfold.

As Olivia arrives in Istanbul, she is greeted by the vibrant sights and sounds of the ancient city.

Marla’s upscale neighborhood provides a stark contrast to the bustling streets below, hinting at a world of opulence and privilege that Marla had become accustomed to.

However, beneath the facade of prosperity lies an undercurrent of darkness, as Olivia soon discovers. Marla’s determination to embrace motherhood despite her tumultuous circumstances sets off a chain reaction of inexplicable occurrences.

Strange shadows lurk in the corners of her elegant apartment, whispering secrets of ancient Mesopotamian mythology.

As Olivia delves deeper into the shadows, she unearths ancient truths that defy comprehension. Concepts of angels, Jinns, and Devils blur the line between myth and reality, challenging her understanding of the world as she knows it.

Jinns, invisible to human eyes yet ever present in the world around them, emerge as the key to unlocking the enigma that surrounds Marla’s death.

Armed with newfound knowledge and a steely resolve, Olivia confronts the malevolent forces that seek to destroy her sister’s legacy. With each step, she inches closer to the truth, risking everything in her quest for justice.

Yet, as the darkness closes in around her, Olivia must confront her own inner demons if she is to emerge from the shadows unscathed. In the end, Olivia’s journey leads her to a shocking revelation that challenges everything she thought she knew.

The line between good and evil blurs, leaving her to question the very nature of existence itself.
