Daai Crazy Somer's full story
Prosecutor Selim Kara is married and has two children. He is more focused on his work in Istanbul than his family in Izmir. He receives an interesting offer from Selcuk Taskin, an organized crime unit member who has been in prison for eight years. Selcuk is ready to testify and give information on mafia dealings in Istanbul in exchange for the prosecutor protecting his son Akgun. Prosecutor Selim accepts his offer.
Selcuk's son Akgun is a reckless 20-year-old who grew up seeing how things are done in the dark world. He still uses his father's name to operate in the mafia business. He is unhappy about his father's decision to become a witness, as it will endanger their lives.

Selim's wife, Canan, wants to end their marriage. The couple has been married for 18 years and has two children, 18-year-old daughter Yagmur and 15-year-old son Altay. Canan and Selim were law students in Istanbul when she got pregnant while still in her fourth year of study. She has been a housewife for 18 years but is tired of being neglected by Selim. She wants to start a new life and pursue her law career, and her daughter Yagmur supports her decision.
Prosecutor Selim leaves Istanbul for Izmir to convince his wife to stay. He goes with Akgun and rents him a house near his family home until he can persuade Canan to let the boy move in. Selim and Akgun's arrival in Izmir marks the beginning of the unexpected drama.
