Set in 1919, Australian farmer and water diviner Joshua Connor (Russell Crowe) travels to Turkey to locate and claim the remains of his three sons, all killed in World War I. The suicide of Connor’s wife Eliza (Jacqueline McKenzie) prompts his desire to bring the remains of their sons home. Connor stays in an Istanbul hotel run by the recently widowed Ayshe (Olga Kurylenko). He contacts the British consul, but is told that Gallipoli, the site where his boys died, remains off limits. Connor bribes a fisherman for passage by boat, and Connor receives unexpected help from Turkish officer Cyril Hughes (Jai Courtney), who is sympathetic to Connor’s plight. Flashbacks reveal how each son died, and that one son may be alive, held in a POW camp. Connor returns to Ayshe’s hotel where he attempts to get help to find his last living son. He finds himself falling in love with Ayshe, but Connor continues to pursue his son’s fate at great peril to himself.
