Father Oktay Gökyayla decides to go to the small and charming village of Thrace, which they have not visited for many years, instead of Alaçatı, where they always go on vacation, in order to keep their daughter Günce unaware of the events and to stay out of sight. This journey, which they took at first, will be the beginning of events that he never expected, especially for Günce.
