SYNOPSIS
Two years after escaping from an ISIS prison in Mosul, a once successful Turkish war photographer is still a mess. He can’t sleep or forgive his wife for what happened to their daughter while he was away. When Hazar visits a hammam, he is confronted by the man who destroyed his life. But discovering that his former torturer is hiding a secret much greater and more dangerous than any terrorist plot, Hazar realizes his plan for revenge has led him back into the war where people are just game birds forced to fight for pleasure and profit. This time he has brought the cockfight home.
