Asiye, who struggles with her two young children at a young age, devotes herself to the happiness of her children despite all her deprivation, and is both a mother and a father to them, her life turns upside down with the disaster that happened to her daughter Narcissus, whom she avoids from her eyes. After that, Asiyah's path crosses with Mahir, an unfamiliar stranger who helps them, who is dragged on an irreversible journey with his children for the sake of protecting his daughter. Mahir, who helps them with humanitarian feelings and takes them to his car, is unaware yet that he will change the fate of both himself and Asiye and their children with this decision he has made. For Asiye, who took refuge in the Demirhan Mansion thanks to Mahir, this is not a salvation, but the beginning of a whole new war.
