A challenging drama about morality, crime, and justice.

Canan, a young criminal defense lawyer, moves between two different worlds. By day, she’s in the courtroom, defending her client, a murder suspect, against all odds. At night, she’s in the hospital, watching over her terminally ill mother, who’s on life support. In less than 24 hours, Canan will have to make difficult moral decisions that will affect every aspect of her life.
