Serhat is a talented surgeon who left behind his hometown and its expectations to build a new life in Istanbul. While there, he falls for Melek and secretly marries her without telling his family.
However, fate pulls him back to Urfa, the place of his birth, where two families hold rivalries and long-buried secrets. He is asked by his family to marry Yıldız to end the feud.
