Episode 1 Zülfikar Karslı, the spiritual father of the bus terminal, is struggling with health problems. For some time, he has managed to brush off the community’s pressure for his son Zafer to return and take charge. But with Yahya—who has moved to Esenler to avenge his murdered father—now in the picture, Zülfikar has no choice but to find an heir other than his ailing son Zafer. The lives of everyone will be turned upside down when the path of Timur, a street repairman struggling to care for his mother and sister alone, crosses with that of the Karslı family. |
