Meryem, Naim and their daughter Zeynep, who live in the apartment of the sect called "Mortals", migrate to Istanbul after the earthquake in their hometown. Meryem, who dreams of sending her daughter to school, is unaware of the plans of the sect and Naim for her daughter.

Levent, a secular Ataturkist psychiatrist, crosses paths with Cüneyd, the favorite grandson of the sheikh of the sect, as a result of a forensic case. Levent, who knows the Mortals from his years of compulsory service, struggles with the conservative perspective of the sect in order to help Cüneyd, while grappling with the turmoil of his personal life.

The secret that Levent and Meryem unknowingly bring from the past has the power to change everyone's lives.

Levent and Meryem's meeting causes two opposing worlds to collide, and the two girls, who do not know that they are sisters, experience a new push and pull with every encounter.

The tension between Meryem and İdris Efendi in the börek shop causes developments that Sadi Hüdayi and Hasna never expected and creates a bomb effect inside the tekke.

Levent begins to realize the secrets of Cüneyd's past that caused his traumas. Mira adds a new one to her mistakes when her mother suddenly disappears. Levent, who learns that Zeynep will be married off at a young age, will put Meryem on an irreversible path.

Levent's attempt to save Zeynep is thwarted from a place he never expected. Meryem, who dreams of her daughter's education, learns about Naim and the sect's plan for her daughter Zeynep. While Naim is calculating his rise within the sect, Meryem is trying to save her daughter. Cüneyd's tense moods make his uncle Sadi Hüdayi worry. He intends to realize the plan they have thought for his future and the future of the order as soon as possible. His wife Hasna and daughter Feyza have other plans. As Mira's anger towards her father grows, she gets herself into even bigger trouble.

A ceremony is organized at the dervish lodge for the marriage of Cüneyd and Zeynep. At the ceremony, unexpectedly, Meryem also approves of her daughter's marriage. Because Meryem and Levent have other plans. Seeking to buy time, Meryem and Levent try to send Zeynep to study abroad with the help of Suavi, but for this, Zeynep will have to answer a very difficult question. While Cüneyd thinks he is walking into a new future with Zeynep, the ghosts of the past will haunt him.

Levent and his brother Hande have an internal showdown with their father Suavi in the hospital. Mira is about to get into big trouble with Can. Meryem may be turning Levent's house into a warm home, but the eyes of those who cannot tolerate this are on them.

Fearing that Mira will go after her real family, Levent seeks help from Meryem, the only person he believes can convince her. While Meryem is caught between betraying Suavi's secret and lying to Levent, she tries to dissuade Suavi from his decision to euthanize her.

Meryem is devastated when she learns from Beste that Levent lied to her about Zeynep's departure. While Levent gets into a big fight with Beste, Meryem, who has lost trust in Levent, decides not to go to that house again after she and Zeynep, who is unaware of what happened, dissuade Suavi from euthanasia. On the other hand, Feyza, whose trap she set for Zeynep is revealed, is in danger of losing everything. The fact that Cüneyd makes the decision about Feyza causes Sadi to see him as an open rival to his power for the first time. The only way out of this situation will be Affan, the powerful groom candidate Sadi has found. However, Feyza's fate will be her own choice.

When Meryem, who has been trying to hide what happened to her from everyone, is finally caught by Zeynep, her daughter encourages her mother to ask Levent for help and put an end to everything. But Naim has no intention of leaving Meryem and decides to test her with her worst nightmare. As Suavi goes to his death, there seems to be no ray of hope left to save Meryem from this dark end.

Cüneyd is devastated to learn that his mother committed suicide, contrary to what he thought. But Cüneyd is not the only one stunned by what he knows. Levent, who learns that Mira's real mother is Meryem, is caught between his conscience and his fears. Meanwhile, Meryem learns an important secret about Cüneyd and Zeynep and is cornered.

The sect is shaken by Meryem's move and Cüneyd, Sadi Hüdayi, Hasna and Naim are detained. Zeynep is also placed in the Child Monitoring Center. Sadi Hüdayi, who does not know the whistleblower and blames Levent, is not only worried about the health of Cüneyd in custody but also doubts what he will confess. Affan, who wants to use the confusion in the dervish lodge to his advantage, comes to Sadi Hüdayi with a very dangerous proposal about Mürşid, while Cüneyd tries to find him to meet his grandfather. At the end of the day, when Sadi Hüdayi is about to take the post, Cüneyd will use a centuries-old tradition of the dergah to raise a flag for his uncle. Levent will confront Meryem in order to save Zeynep despite Irfan Bey's pressure.

As Zeynep is temporarily handed over to the Levent's, an angry Naim starts looking for ways to get his daughter back, but he also takes his anger out on Meryem. On the other hand, Cüneyd, who decides not to swear allegiance to his uncle after talking to Zeynep, must either win a three-pronged battle or accept solitary confinement, but a disaster that befalls Zeynep forces him to make a vital choice.
