MEET THE CHARACTERS
ALEV 🇹🇷 A Turkish artist-refugee fleeing heartbreak and visa countdown in San Francisco. Raw, resilient, and hungry for belonging—which makes her the perfect target. 🗣️ "I left every scrap of that life behind. Why would that make me feel better?"
SCOTT 💻 The architect of beautiful lies. A charismatic scammer masquerading as a tech visionary, selling dreams of revolutionary AI while running elaborate crypto fraud. His crown: self-proclaimed RaveLord. 🗣️ "I'm not a rebound, rave queen. I'm a catch."
SERA 🎨 Shay's ex-wife turned Judas. An artist who weaponizes intimacy, orchestrating Alev's seduction while playing the loyal friend. Survival has taught her to betray before being betrayed. 🗣️ "You have even worse taste than me. I want a rockstar tonight."
SHAY 🛡️ Alev's programmer cousin—cynical, protective, and infuriatingly right. He sees through Scott's facade immediately but watches helplessly as love makes his cousin blind. 🗣️ "You're addicted to this pattern of men who get you high, use you, and leave!"
VANESSA 🖼️ Sera's wife and gallery owner—generous, trusting, and completely unaware she's married to a collaborator. Her love becomes both sanctuary and weapon. 🗣️ "I think you're worthy. That's why I'm filling my entire gallery with your work."
LEVENT 📊 The first Turkish director at tech giant Mogul—accomplished but cautious. His success makes him Scott's perfect mark, and his integrity makes him Alev's unlikely savior. 🗣️ "This country is as full of possibilities as it is of hardships. You'll persevere."
BURAK 🧠 The wealthy friend with a traumatic brain injury who can't remember dreams—making him desperately vulnerable to Scott's "dream technology" pitch. Loses $500,000 chasing what he's lost. 🗣️ "I haven't remembered a dream since I was 23. Not one."
NOY 🎭 Alev's Armenian ex-boyfriend—a weak man crushed between his racist mother's demands and his own cowardice. The wound that makes Alev reckless for love. 🗣️ "She owns the house, Alev."
ZARA 🐍 Noy's mother, whose family trauma from the Armenian genocide has curdled into racist hatred. She destroys Alev and Noy's relationship with surgical precision. 🗣️ "It's time to get your Turkish whore out of here."
