That night when it seemed impossible for the rain and storm to stop, Araz was suddenly taken back to the old days. To his childhood...
The year was 2015. Araz was only 8 years old. His father, Rıza, had worked overtime that week and saved some money. That day was Saturday and payday. Rıza had taken his wife Melek Hanım and their son Araz out for dinner. But if they had never gone out for dinner... Maybe they would still be alive today.
A warm dinner at a luxurious restaurant... Everything looked happy from the outside. Araz asked his family for permission to go to the bathroom before dinner and got up.
Mr. Rıza smiled and turned to his wife:
"My angel... Do you see our son? How grown up he is."
Melek Hanım sighed and nodded:
"Exactly. I couldn't even bear to leave him at school last year…"
Rıza was about to say something when… gunshots were heard.
Screams rose in the restaurant. While everyone was running away in panic, Rıza and Melek were running to their son Araz. But it didn't happen… They were caught in the crowd. The men whose faces were not even visible, rained bullets on them without blinking.
Araz was watching what was happening frozen as he exited the bathroom door. He was shaking… With fear, not knowing what to do.
And the last words he heard from his mother…
"Son… run… please… ka—"
The sentence was left unfinished. And Araz's heart was completely torn apart at that moment.
Suddenly, the door rang. Araz shook himself from the shadow of the past and returned to the present. But he was filled with anger. He knew very well who had ruined that night. That man whose name he couldn't erase from his mind for years…
But it was almost impossible to reach him. Because that man was rich, powerful and dangerous in every sense. Everyone was afraid of him. He had silenced everything with his money; both crime and justice…
There was only one person left in Araz's world: his older brother Ozan. A man who had been with him since his childhood, who smuggled cars and spoke the language of the streets. He was both a big brother and a shelter for Araz. But shelter was no longer enough.
There was only one feeling that had been growing inside Araz for years:
Revenge.
No matter what, one day he would take that man's life.
Ozan:
"Son, forget about this past. Even if you find this man and take his life… in the end, you will still lose. Let go of this."
Araz:
"Even if I know I will die, if I don't take that man's life… I won't die. So what happened? Is there any development? Do we know anything about the man?"
Ozan:
"There is, brother, there is. This man lost his wife to cancer a few years ago. He also has a daughter, a senior at Güney Anatolian High School."
Araz (pauses, lowers his gaze, then in a determined voice):
"You say... I have something in mind."
