Twelve years ago, a family died inside a burning house. The case was closed as a tragic accident. The records were sealed. The evidence was buried. And the emergency call made that night was erased from the system. Until now. During a quiet night shift at the Emergency Communications Office, dispatcher Mara Veyne receives a call from a terrified child. The boy is whispering, hiding somewhere inside a house, claiming someone has been murdered. But the address he gives no longer exists. The house burned down twelve years ago. When Inspector Kael Veyne and his special response team are assigned to investigate, the case quickly becomes more than a cold file. The old fire report does not match the medical evidence. The call log shows signs of tampering. The chain of custody is broken. And someone powerful made sure no police unit was ever dispatched that night. As Kael digs deeper, he discovers that the fire was never the real tragedy. It was the cover-up. Together with his police team, Kael follows a trail of falsified reports, hidden witness statements, altered autopsy findings, and office corruption inside the very system meant to protect the innocent. But the closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous the case becomes. The killer begins using emergency calls as a weapon. And when Kael's younger brother, Theo, a college student ten years younger than him, is pulled into the investigation, the case turns personal. Now Kael must protect the only family he has left while leading a team that trusts him like a brother. Because some calls are not forgotten. Some victims do not stay silent. And some truths return years later, demanding to be answered. The Last Call is a dark crime thriller about a buried emergency call, police brotherhood, family protection, corrupted justice, and the terrifying question of what happens when help arrives twelve years too late.

Seventeen-year-old Arian has spent his whole life believing it has always been only him and his mother. No father. No brothers. No other family. His mother never speaks about the past. Whenever Arian asks, she turns cold, changes the subject, or tells him that some things are better left buried. So Arian learns to stop asking. He learns to obey. He learns to study until his eyes burn and his body gives up. To the world, his mother is a devoted single parent who wants her son to succeed. But behind closed doors, love feels like pressure. She monitors his studies, his sleep, his phone, his time, and every mistake he makes. Arian is expected to be perfect - perfect grades, perfect behaviour, perfect future. But perfection is slowly destroying him. He faints many times from exhaustion, yet his mother refuses to see his suffering. To her, rest is weakness, and anything less than a perfect score is failure. Arian keeps trying to be the son she wants, until one day he discovers the truth she has hidden for seventeen years. He has a father. He has two older brothers. And the life he thought he knew was built on silence. Broken by the truth and overwhelmed by years of pressure, Arian runs away. In his darkest moment, he is saved by a police officer who brings him to the hospital - not knowing that the boy he rescued is connected to his own family. When Arian's identity is discovered, the past his mother buried comes crashing back. His father is called. His older brothers arrive. His sister-in-law appears. And for the first time, Arian wakes up surrounded by the family he never knew existed. But reunion does not heal everything. His father wants answers. His brothers are furious. His mother is terrified of losing him. And Arian is left caught between the woman who raised him, the family who never knew him, and the painful question of where he truly belongs.
