Summary

Haunted by a tragic incident, Nihat isolates himself as the fire warden of a remote observation tower. To distance herself from her own traumatic past, Seher takes a similarly solitary job as a hostess at a rural bus station in the region. Each goes about their secluded existence until their fates collide at a crossroads. Reluctantly choosing companionship over isolation, the pair develops a tender, if uneven, domestic partnership as they settle into Nihat's mountainside watchtower. Ultimately, their proximity serves as the ultimate catalyst, allowing each to redevelop a compassion in their lives they'd long since lost.
