Overview

Şehrazat, a resilient and hopeful young woman studying in medical school who dreams of a bright future with her beloved Ferhat. However, their lives are turned upside down when Ferhat is wrongfully sentenced to death. In a desperate attempt to save him from the gallows, Şehrazat turns to Büyükbey, a man known for his dark influence. But there is a catch that she’s unaware of: no favor from Büyükbey comes without a price. As the unhappy marriage of Büyükbey’s daughter, Şirin, and his nephew, Kubat, intertwines with his plans to maintain his empire, everyone’s lives will be irrevocably changed, and nothing will ever be the same again.
