After years away, Doğan returns to Istanbul for the first time at the insistence of his younger sister, Melek, to attend the wedding of his other sister, Gülüşan. His return, however, brings back long-buried traumas and hidden crimes within the Hancıoğlu family.
Upon returning to Istanbul, he meets Çağla, a young lawyer who applies to work for the family company. Then the drama hits different when someone tries to kill the father, Tahir Hancıoğlu, and blames Melek for the crime.
