Synopsis

Yasemin (Melis Sezen) is a young girl who has been raised in an orphanage. Even though she has a tough life, she never gives up and manages to study at law school. Now, she both goes to school and works at the company which is organizing events and ceremonies.

Yasemin lives together with her close friend Sirin (Tugce Acikgoz) who works at the same company. They both do not have families, hence they become as if they are siblings. They back up each other all the time and forget their loneliness.

Yasemin also has a little brother Murat who is staying in an orphanage. Their mothers are same while their fathers are different. Murat is a disabled child who is deaf-and-dumb. He has a hard life in an orphanage due to his disability and because of that, he is so introverted. However, Yasemin is so insightful towards her little brother.

On the other hand, Cem (Burak Sevinc) is a young and successful businessman. He has a wealthy life. Even though he has a brother and aunt, he stays away from his family. He seems to be cold-hearted and distant. His cool character is actually shaped by the bad memories concerning his childhood. Cem witnessed the event which separated his mother and father when he was a little child. After then, he has lost his trust towards women and approached them with suspicion all the time.

The life of Yasemin and Cem intersects in one of the company events. Yasemin organizes the event while Cem attends the event as a vice president of the company. During the night, Cem’s colleague at the company, vice president Mehmet (Tolga Gulec) is impressed by Yasemin’s beauty. He starts to harass her by words and later on, calls her to his room under the influence of alcohol. Unaware of Mehmet’s ill-will, Yasemin goes to his room by assuming that there is something wrong about the organization. Soon after, she comes across Mehmet’s attack and manages to avoid him with difficulty.

Upon this incident, Yasemin wants to call the police and report the incident. However, she confronts the resistance of hotel management. Mehmet immediately refuses all the things, mentions that Yasemin was willing to have sex with him, and starts to use his power to prevent possible police record.

In order to end the chaos, Cem offers a huge amount of money to Yasemin and wants her to leave the scene. Yasemin once again is struck with consternation and understands that she is helpless at the moment. Even though she does not want to take steps backward, she has nothing to do but to refuse the money and leave the scene.

The next day, Cem watches the video records of the hotel and understands that Yasemin is innocent. He regrets how he behaved the day before and wants to apologize. However, he does not know that it would not be easy to make up with her.

Meanwhile, Yasemin decides not to report the incident to the police. She knows that she would not be able to win against these powerful businessmen who could buy anybody with their money. She just tries to forget everything and live her life as it is. However, the tragedies do not get off Yasemin’s tail.
