A Collision of Intellect and Intuition: Alıkara
Alıkara tells the story of two polar opposite individuals whose lives intersect around the very same grief. On one side is Işık And, a young woman raised in Istanbul who has learned to survive by relying solely on her intellect. On the other side is Deniz Baran Dağ, a homicide detective carrying the heavy burden of devastating childhood losses on his shoulders.
When Işık’s father suddenly vanishes without a trace, and Deniz’s beloved niece, Neşe, dies leaving behind a web of unanswered questions, their fates are sealed within the same tragedy—long before they even know each other.
A forensic psychologist and a homicide detective… One tracks the anomalies of the human soul, while the other investigates the physical evidence left behind at crime scenes. As they both chase the exact same truth, their paths inevitably cross. However, the answers they seek won’t come easy. With every step closer to solving the mystery, they drift deeper into the dark corridors of their own pasts.
Alıkara explores a profound connection born at the crossroads of East and West, tradition and modernity, intuition and logic, faith and science. It is the story of two broken people who heal each other without trying to change who they are.
Exploring both the depravity and the ultimate hope of the human spirit, Alıkara masterfully blends mystery, suspense, and romance in a single narrative. Combining psychological depth with gritty tension, Alıkara is coming soon to TOD.
