Synopsis

Serra (Ozge Yagiz) is a young girl who studies architecture at Kuzey University in Istanbul. She is a mature, responsible and beautiful young girl. She and her mother Nilgun (Esra Bezen Bilgin) live in a small shanty house and try to survive without the help of other people.

7 years ago, Serra and her family had a wealthy and happy life. However, their perfect life turned upside down when her father’s business went bankrupt. The sequence of tragedies happened after then. Her father left his family behind and disappeared. Her brother committed suicide and died. Her mother could not handle the situation and suffered from physiological problems.

Serra has become the head of the family after then. She takes care of her mother, studies at school, and works at part-time jobs in order to earn money and support the living expenses. Her mother still suffers from physiological problems so, she stays at home all the time without doing anything. Thus, Serra even cooks and does house chores when she comes to home after long hours of studying and working.

Serra finds this life so difficult but never complaints about it. She tries to be strong and positive in front of her mother. She also could not forget his brother’s suicide but tries to do her best to get through her past.

Serra works part-time at a well-known hotel as a housekeeper and after then, goes to university. Her simple life changes all of a sudden with a misunderstanding.

When she does her job very well and gets the recognition of a famous business man at the hotel, she is offered a ride. Serra accepts this offer in order not to miss the class. However, she is shocked when she sees a black limousine waiting at the hotel entrance.

Serra goes to the university with that black limousine. All of a sudden, she gets everybody’s attention in the campus. Students assume that she comes from a very rich family and hence, they try to learn as much information as possible about her.

The popular students of the school also try to understand this mysterious girl. Biricik (Cemre Baysel) and Burak (Emre Bey) become extremely curious about this beautiful girl who gathers everybody’s attention.

Meanwhile, Selim (Tolga Mendi) who is a student at Kuzey University also bumps into Serra out of pure coincidence. Selim is the most popular student in the school. He is handsome, arrogant, rich, and charismatic. While each girl at school shows interest to this popular guy, Serra does not refrain from having a dispute with him due to the nature of her personality.

His mother passed away due to an illness when he was a little child and he learnt that his father Ihsan (Cansel Elcin) had an affair with another woman during that time. After then, Selim has not got along well with his father who is now married to a sneaky woman Asena (Defne Samyeli).

Selim does not seem to care about his life and lives as he wishes all the time. Thus, he always has some problems with his father who has high expectations from his son. In fact, Selim tries to make his father mad due to his anger and disappointment.

The life of Selim and Serra intersects once more. The head of school master Onur (Tamer Rumeli), who is Ihsan’s son-in-law, assigns Serra as a private tutor for Selim. He thinks that Selim could improve his grades if he closely study with a successful student.

After then, Selim and Serra start to study together and learn more from each other. Even though they often have a discussion for no reason and have strong prejudices towards each other, the more they spend time together the more they see the good in each other.

The mandatory study sessions of Serra and Selim also bring new disputes in the school. Biricik who has been in love with Selim for a long time and Burak who has some feelings towards Serra get disturbed by this relationship. Also, Selim assumes that Serra comes from a wealthy family even though Serra does not mention anything about her social status.
