Things are not easy for this new family, but they work hard and are able to leave their dark past behind. Through it all, Yaman somehow manages to keep his soul pure and never succumbs to the darkness that surrounds him.

Things get complicated when Yaman meets Rüya, a beautiful girl from the rich side of town. Her boyfriend nearly overdosed, and it’s up to Yaman to save him. He delivers Rüya’s boyfriend to his mother who is a senior doctor. Later, after the boyfriend beats up Yaman’s best friend in retaliation for exposing his drug problem to his mother, Yaman goes to his home to take revenge. That is when Yaman realizes that Rüya’s boyfriend is his brother, and he is actually Ali Soysalan, the boy who was kidnapped 15 years ago. Caught between the family he made and the family that was stolen from him, the road ahead is uncertain. 

"The Brave" is the story of Halil İbrahim Karasu, who returns to the Black Sea village of his birth. Halil was forced to flee when he was just five years old, after his father was murdered by the local crime boss Rızvan Leto. Twenty years later, Halil came home to marry his childhood sweetheart, Yasemin. But when Yasemin is murdered by Rızvan’s son, his mission takes on a whole new direction: Halil becomes a one- man army with the sole purpose of destroying Rızvan Leto.

Halil gains some unexpected allies as he works his way though Rızvan’s criminal operations, including Rızvan’s daughter Zeynep. Zeynep wants to move on from the illegitimate life, and once she learned the truth about what her family did to Halil she had no choice but to help him.

In "Dirty Laundry" Meryem, one of these women, tragically falls to her death while working in a house, an event that goes unnoticed by the people she served. İlkgül, Meryem's friend, and Kahraman, a journalist, join forces to uncover the truth behind Meryem's untimely demise.
