Years ago, Ayşe, accused of murdering her husband, gives birth to a baby girl while in prison. With no one left to cling to, her only option is to entrust her baby to her mother-in-law, Suna Saydamel. Suna is a powerful and ruthless businesswoman; she tries to suppress the growing hatred she feels for Ayşe with the love she feels for her granddaughter. For ten years, Ayşe lives with the dream of her daughter, with a few photos that arrive every month being her only solace. However, upon her release, she is confronted with the biggest lie of her life: the child in the photos is not her daughter. A devastated Ayşe secretly learns her daughter's whereabouts. Little Zeynep was adopted by another family years ago and is now being raised by her father, Kemal. Ayşe disguises her identity to approach Zeynep and becomes her nanny. But the longing and protective instinct she feels as a mother quickly turn into a dark determination: she will try everything to take her daughter with her forever.

Every step Ayşe takes to get closer to her daughter is met with Suna breathing down her neck. Suna suspects Ayşe is hiding something and begins to pressure her again. Meanwhile, as Ayşe continues to dream of being with Zeynep, a new obstacle appears in Kemal's life: the return of his ex-wife Pınar. Ayşe now has to fight not only for her daughter but also against her past and her enemies, but a small mistake she makes could cost her everything.

Kemal is forced to confront a past case again, while the alarm bells start ringing for Ayşe. The return of Zeynep’s mother, Pınar, to Istanbul will turn both Kemal’s and Ayşe’s lives upside down. As Ayşe tries to maintain the balance she has established to get closer to her daughter, Suna learns about Kemal’s investigation into the Saydamel family. As everyone gets closer, the truths begin to be revealed one by one.

The world Ayşe built is shattered with Pınar's return. As her daughter Zeynep says "mother" to someone else again after all these years, Ayşe quietly breaks apart from her own heart. While Kemal becomes the target of Suna's secret plans, everyone's destiny intersects once more at the same dinner table. The truth has not yet been revealed, but nothing will ever be the same.
