Synopsis

Ömer Demir is a devoted police officer living in poverty with his mother, older brother, and sister-in-law. He has recently been rewarded to an all-expenses-paid vacation to Istanbul with his fiancée Sibel Andak, where they will marry the next day.

Elif Denizer is a wealthy jewelry designer and head of her family's jewelry empress. She is flying to Istanbul from her home in Rome to celebrate her thirty first birthday alongside her family. On arriving she is greeted at the airport by her best friend Bajar Cinar, and she is taken to a restaurant, where she has been thrown a surprise party by all her friends and family. Her father leaves the party early, saying he must take care of some work.

Both their lives entangle when Elif's father, Ahmet Denizer, and Sibel Andak are found murdered in a car on the side of a cliff together that same night.

Ömer is devastated and suffers the loss of his fiancée, as Elif and her family mourn the loss of her father.

One refuses to accept the suspicion that Sibel might have been cheating on him with this older man, and Elif suggests that her father is innocent and that Sibel must have lured him into a trap.

While still recovering from their loss, Elif is threatened to find a group of diamonds worth millions of dollars that her father had stolen, and if she doesn't, they would kill her. She decides to hide it from her family to not put them in a any danger.

Elif's younger sister Nilufer Denizer is leaving to go study in New York, and Elif accompanies her to the airport. But, while on their way they are intercepted and kidnapped. A man named Metin tries to force them to admit where they are hiding the diamonds, even though neither of them know, especially Nilufer, who was unaware of Elif's problem. Metin decides to keep Nilufer and release Elif, in order to threaten her to find the diamonds on account of her sister's life. Elif is told to find the diamonds, and that only after that will she see Nilufer again.

Elif is desperate to save Nilufer, but she can't tell the police because Metin said if she told someone he would kill Nilufer.

Metin tells Elif if she wants to see her sister, she has to launder money to Rome. Elif accepts to save her little sister.

Finally, Elif manages to tell Ömer her problem, and Ömer agrees to help her find Nilufer if she goes on a mission with him to Rome to stop Metin. Elif agrees, but she launders the money in secret anyway, because she feels that Metin will kill her sister if he discovers she didn't do it.

While in custody, Nilufer develops Stockholm Syndrome and she and Metin fall in "love", and they secretly begin to date. Metin and Nilufer hide their relationship because they know that they will get killed if anyone finds out.

They fail to capture Metin in Rome, so they return to Istanbul to investigate.

Ömer and his team manage to rescue Nilufer, but Omer's older brother, Huseyin Demir, gets shot while trying to save Ömer. He is gravely wounded, but is taken to the hospital and survives.

Elif is grateful to Ömer for saving Nilufer, and her feelings for him develop even more.

Pelin, one of Ömer's friends and a police officer, manages to obtain a security tape of Sibel meeting up with Ahmet at a restaurant, so she calls Ömer and Elif to see the recording. The tape shows Sibel and Ahmet exchanging conversation about them being involved in the 'black money' business, and patraying in illegal acts. Ömer becomes furious with Sibel and has a panic attack where he wounds his hand.

Asli, Elif's older sister, has a mental problem, and she stops taking her antibiotics when she becomes pregnant. She hides this from everyone because she knows her mother will make her abort if she finds out.

Bajar and her boyfriend Levent plot on making Elif fall in love with Levent: that way they can run away with the diamonds and start a new life.

Omer's team find a security camera tape of Asli jumping out a window before the murder occurred, so they summon her to the police station to be interrogated.

Asli denies being the murderer, but she refuses to admit why she threw herself out the window because in reality, she did that because she saw she was bleeding, and wanted to make sure the baby was okay.

Elif manages to free Asli through Ömer. Asli tells Ömer that she is pregnant, but makes Ömer promise not to tell anyone she stopped taking her medications.

Ömer is depressed because of Sibel's treason, so Elif takes him to a country club to relax for a day.

Ömer tells Elif he wishes that the world was not full of lies.

Elif becomes guilty, so she tells Ömer she lied about not laundering the money in Rome. Ömer is hurt and shuns her.

Huseyin thinks Tanner, Asli's husband, might have murdered Sibel and Ahmet because he left the party before the murder too.

Tanner is also interrogated, but cannot say where he was because he is actually dating Elif's uncle's wife Pinar.

Asli accidentally reveals her pregnancy to Tanner, who tells Asli's mother. Asli thinks Ömer betrayed her because she thinks he told her mother.

Asli's mother tricks Asli into aborting the baby, and when Asli wakes up, she has a nerve attack and kills her mother.

Ömer breaks the news to Elif, and she is sad.

Then they realize Asli doesn't remember anything about killing her mother, and she still believes she is pregnant. The doctors and her sisters decide to let her believe she is pregnant until she is ready to be told the truth.

Tanner and Pinar plan on running away together and escaping the police, but Tayyar, Elif's uncle, sends men to strangle Tanner. Thus, Pinar is forced to reveal herself to save Tanner. Tayyar is informed about Pinar's infidelity, and abandons her handcuffed to a pole on a boat adrift at sea to die.

Tanner is arrested and taken to prison, but Tayyar sends a man to kill him, and then falsifies a letter as if he commit suicide. Everyone grieves the loss of Tanner, but Ömer suspects that he was murdered.

Elif and Ömer reconcile and decide to work together.

A few days later the police found Pinar half-dead on the boat and took her to the hospital. There, she fakes amnesia to avoid having to return to Tayyar. But, he finds the hospital she is in and is told that she is actually pregnant. He finds her and she is forced to go home with him.

Tayyar tells Pinar if the baby is Tanner's, he will force her to throw it in the ocean when it is a year old.

Asli recovers fully and returns home.

Ömer suspects Tayyar has something to do with the murderer, but doesn't tell Elif because he knows Elif loves Tayyar very much.

Ömer discovers Tayyar is the head of the 'black money business.'

Everyone is invited to the anniversary of the inauguration ceremony of Tayyar Dundar's Foundation for young poor students to have a chance at an education. Everyone is invited, including Elif and Bajar. They both go, but Ömer she's up and tells Elif the suspicions he has about Tayyar, and how he could have something to do with the murder. Elif gets upset with Ömer because she thinks it is impossible for Tayyar to be capable of harm.

Ömer threatens Tayyar he will expose him for his crimes, but Tayyar takes it lightly and leaves. Elif sees this and follows Tayyar. She sees Tayyar with his medic. Then Elif asks him if he is okay, and Tayyar says Ömer came up with silly accusations against him, and that he felt bad for him. Elif gets angry at Ömer for hurting her uncle.

Nilufer goes to live with Tayyar and her ex-boyfriend, Tayyar's son Mert. Mert is still in love with Nilufer.

Metin becomes jealous when he sees Mert and Nilufer too attached, so he sneaks into Tayyar's house and threatens Nilufer to stay away from Mert.

Eventually Elif discovers Tayyar, and realizes that Ömer was right all along, and that he is the head of a crime organization involving children's organ trafficking, and money laundering all over Europe, and several levels of homicidal assassinations.

She takes Nilufer out of his house and says that she hates him for all he's done.

Nilufer confesses she is having a relationship with Metin, and Elif and Asli get really upset with her.
