What Ships I Have Burned

Plot: Yasemin and Fidan are two completely different women whose only shared bond is the unconditional devotion to their young daughters and the drive to protect them at all costs. Yasemin is a struggling single mother fighting for financial survival with her daughter Rengin. Fidan is a traumatized woman on the run with her daughter Zeynep, desperate to escape her psychopathic and abusive husband, Rutkay. A fateful encounter in a shopping mall thrusts both women into a harrowing incident, forcing them into an unbreakable alliance. Leaning on each other for strength, they navigate Rutkay's relentless manhunt and the probing investigation launched by Chief Inspector Toprak.
