Hope was only seven years old when she mysteriously vanished into the waters of Istanbul. The family believed the sea had taken her, but her body was never found - and the silence that followed was even more devastating than the loss itself.
That day, she had been under the care of Adrian - the brother forever marked by guilt. Since then, his life has become an abyss of excess and self-destruction, as if punishing himself night after night. Emily, the sister who had quarreled with Hope only hours before, still carries the weight of an absence that cannot be erased.
Alexander, the eldest, became the very face of honor and tradition. Always rigid, always the exemplary heir, yet behind the noble mask lives a man who also bleeds in silence. He speaks of his sister as if she were still near, as if keeping her memory alive were the only way not to lose himself completely.
But Hope's disappearance did more than steal their childhood. It carved deep fractures into a family that lived behind the mask of wealth and tradition. Behind the walls of their home lay unspoken secrets, buried guilt, shadowed alliances, and silences too heavy to bear.
Respected in public but corroded in secret, that family was never the same again. And on the shores of Istanbul, the sea still whispers truths no one dares to face.
