    • Synopsis
    • Istanbul, present day and five cops are working the graveyard shift. Remzi, the boss watches on with quiet amusement as Yavuz, the joker, entertains them all with his stories. Their banter and laughter punctuates the gloom of the night. But beneath the camaraderie, a maddening sense of uneasy dread builds within this band of brothers. Seyfi, the driver is suffering mind-shattering headaches that make him doubt even his sanity. Arda, the new boy, is haunted by a recurring dream from his childhood and
      fears he may never actually have woken from it. And Remzi has shouldered the darkest secret of them all. He can bear the weight of it no longer; and it will destroy them all this very night. When dispatch orders urgently needed back up to a house in the Inceagac district, they head there with trepidation. They’ve heard stories of this place as children. None of them are good. Lost and disorientated in a remote and desolate part of the city they lose control of their vehicle when a man covered in blood falls under the wheels. Recovering their bearings they see looming before them the imposing dark ruin of the house they have been seeking.
      Isolated and without back up they force their way in. But as they push ever further into depths of the labyrinthine lair, it becomes clear they have stumbled into the darkest
      pits of a terrible evil. A squalid and blood-soaked den of ritual led by The Father - the master of all their nightmares - who will plunge them ever deeper downthe rabbit hole and into the very mouth of madness.
