Justine Nolan is a documentary film maker who lost her
beloved grandmother a decade ago—the person who was the
only source of love and comfort in her life. Her own
mother Deborah had always been distant and uninvolved,
following her own agenda in pursuit of her career as an
interior designer. But when Justine inadvertently opens a
letter addressed to her mother, she discovers that not
only is her grandmother Gabri alive, but that Deborah has
deliberately estranged the family from her for all these
years. Justine’s search for her grandmother takes her to
Istanbul where she begins to uncover the family’s secrets
that stretch all the way back to World War II. As the
layers of deception peel away, Justine begins to
understand a woman she never really knew…and she begins to
ask questions about the true desires of her own heart.
