Forty years on, a wealthy but broken family must relive the dreadful events surrounding a young married woman’s alleged suicide. Although Cetin Ikmen has retired from the Istanbul police force, he is persuaded to investigate this not-so-cold case. A historian has discovered, in a ruined seaside villa, the Ouija board that predicted the bride, Deniz, would be the first of those present to die.  While Ikmen delves deeper and deeper into the circumstances surrounding her violent death, both past and present are obscured and illuminated by dynamics motivating the surviving relatives.
