The endless feud between the two rival families, the Furtunas and the Koçaris, has been raging for years. Adil Koçari and Esme Furtuna, who once shared a great love in the past, find themselves on opposite sides because of a blood feud. In a moment of confrontation, Esme shoots Adil. Despite all the enmity between them, Adil Koçari refuses to betray Esme and claims, “I shot myself.” At that very moment, a Greek doctor who has traveled from afar saves Adil’s life. This young woman, Eleni—the daughter of a Greek mother and an Istanbulite Greek father—has come to Trabzon in pursuit of a deep secret. After Eleni’s arrival, life will never be the same again for either Adil or Esme.

After their car accident, Adil and Eleni fight for their lives, caught right in the middle of an ambush set up by Gökhan and his men. As bullets fly, Esme arrives just in time to save them. Determined to avenge the attack on Eleni, Adil vows to make her assailants pay. Meanwhile, rumors spread throughout the village that “the Greek doctor and Koçari are together,” fueling growing tension. At the same time, Oruç’s engagement preparations with Sevcan move forward rapidly. However, Eleni, who is no longer welcome in the village, grows weak and falls ill. When Oruç finds her on the beach, he helps her and entrusts her to Esme’s care. During the engagement ceremony, Adil’s arrivied intent on reclaiming the land that rightfully belongs to him by “blood right” which brings him face-to-face with Esme. Meanwhile, from prison, Şerif orders Eleni’s death. Unaware of the danger closing in on her, Eleni continues to walk straight toward it.

After being attacked, Eleni falls into the sea and is rescued by Oruç, who takes her to Esme’s guesthouse. Unable to see her attacker, Eleni finds it impossible to trust anyone and insists on seeing only Adil. When Adil, Esme, and Eleni reunite at the guesthouse, they begin searching for the person behind the assault. Meanwhile, Adil learns that Fadime has gone missing. Zarife makes him a ruthless offer: “Return the land, and you can have your sister back.” But this bargain once again forces the Furtuna family to face the harsh hand of “Koçari justice.” Just as tensions reach their peak, the unexpected return of Şerif Furtuna shatters the balance completely, setting the stage for a new wave of conflict.

With Şerif’s release from prison, everything is thrown into turmoil once again. Tensions rise sharply within the Furtuna family, while Adil decides it’s time to erase the traces of the past. He gives Esme an ultimatum, reveal who pushed Eleni into the sea, or he will destroy her guesthouse and bring down the entire Furtuna family. Oruç’s faith in his uncle begins to crumble after Melina’s shocking words: “Your uncle sold Eleni.” This time, it’s Oruç’s turn to demand answers. Meanwhile, Behçet deceives Eleni under the guise of offering help and lures her into a trap he has set up in the highlands. When news of Eleni’s death reaches Oruç, he is devastated, consumed by guilt and grief for failing to protect the woman he loved.

Adil demolishes Esme’s guesthouse, erasing every trace of the past. Though he settles his personal dispute with Esme, he launches a much bigger battle against the Furtuna family. Despite Esme’s efforts to stop him, Adil continues his game with strategic moves and ultimately succeeds in destroying the villagers’ trust in Şerif and the Furtunas. At the same time, Şerif puts a cruel plan into action of his own, to poison a herd of tens of thousands of goats in order to reclaim the land and the money. Meanwhile, the photograph Melina gives to Oruç reveals that Eleni was sold as a baby in Istanbul. Determined to find her mother, Eleni decides to travel to Istanbul with Oruç. Her choice to ignore Adil’s warnings and leave him behind deeply wounds him. As Esme fights alongside Adil to save the poisoned goats, she is devastated to learn that Eleni is searching for her mother, and that her mother turns out to be a member of the Furtuna family.
