Eshref fell in love with a girl he once saw from afar during his childhood, a girl whose name he never knew and who lives in his memory only as “Ruya” (Dream). After being sent to prison at a young age, he lost all trace of her. Years later, he has become one of the top members of The Orphans, a powerful mafia syndicate operating in Istanbul. Despite all the time that has passed, he has never let go of that memory. Wherever he goes, he looks for Ruya.
When Papa Yakup, the leader of The Orphans, is diagnosed with a terminal illness, he sees Eshref as his successor. The decision unsettles Kadir, Eshref’s strongest rival within the organization. As the internal power struggle begins to intensify, Eshref is backed by his closest friends and housemates Gurdal, Muslum, and Faruk, who have stood by his side since their prison days.
One day, a wedding is held at the luxury hotel Eshref runs, organized through Kadir and hosted by a prominent family tribe. When tensions flare between the bride’s side and the performing band, the group’s lead singer, Nisan, suddenly finds herself in danger. Eshref steps in to protect her, unaware that she is in fact the very Ruya he has been chasing all these years.
Nisan is drawn to Eshref, but having built a peaceful and independent life, she wants nothing to do with the world he belongs to. Yet when her younger sister Afra is implicated in a murder case, Inspector Cigdem, Eshref’s relentless enemy, uses it to her advantage. In exchange for Afra’s safety, Cigdem convinces Nisan to become an informant, extracting information from Eshref’s inner circle.
As Nisan gets closer to Eshref, her feelings for him grow deeper. But she has no idea how a crime from his past is tied to her own story. Nor does Eshref realize that the woman he is falling in love with is the same Ruya he has searched for all along who is secretly working against him.
