- Synopsis:
-
-
- Efkan is a successful businessman living in London who has his comfortable life thrown into turmoil when he learns that he is the target of a killer. An unknown assassin from his native Turkey has decided that he must die to satisfy a generations-old feud.
Charlotte, Efkan's wife, is outraged upon learning of this code of revenge, and in fear of the thought that their 5-year-old son Harry could become a victim of this bizarre tradition.
Barak, the duty-bound killer, is as much a victim of tradition as his intended target.
-
- An Eye for a Tooth tells the story of two families interwoven over several generations, most of whose members place honour above life and death in the name of the all real tradition called "Kan Davasi" (the Blood Feud), while a courageous few believe it is wiser to question tradition.
