Episode 1 Adem, a simple man living a modest life with his wife and two children, works as a straightforward clerk at the mint. Despite wanting to lead a life of virtue, kindness, and ethical values, the harsh financial realities and the weight of his responsibilities as a father begin to overwhelm him. In an effort to cheer up his son Arda, who suffers from bullying, and to prove that he once truly was an artist behind money design, Adem’s actions turn his family’s world upside down. At this turning point, he crosses paths again with his brother Kartal, whom he had kept his distance from—a man notorious for his trickery and scams. Kartal, Adem’s complete opposite, is willing to use any means necessary to make easy money, and has even gotten involved in something that will later haunt them. Faced with his wife Canan’s exhaustion from years of financial struggle and his daughter Naz’s growing expectations, Adem finds himself at a breaking point. |

Episode 2 Adem believes that the only way to win his family's approval is to buy a house, which is why he decides to print money just this once, involving Kartal in the scheme. However, for an ordinary man, this is not an easy task; he needs to make a solid plan. On the other hand, Kartal's secret dealings, hidden from his brother, have gotten out of hand. The police officer Ayşe, whom he hit with his car, is now unable to use her legs because of Kartal's actions. The two brothers embark on a money-printing operation in a place that would never cross the devil's mind to fix everything, while Adem tries to pull his family back together. He must quickly win back Canan, who wants a divorce, and Naz, who broke her nose to get cosmetic surgery. Unbeknownst to Adem, who thinks he has everything under control, the money will also bring trouble. |
