Wrong Turn
Directional mistake made
A wrong turn is a navigational error—taking a road or path that leads away from your intended destination: We took a wrong turn and ended up in the wrong town entirely.
Figuratively, a wrong turn is a decision that leads someone astray in life or career: His involvement with those guys was a wrong turn he never recovered from.
