Synopsis:
Kemal Tekin (Kenan İmirzalıoğlu) has received a very good education in England. He has a photographic memory, high attention, and great courage. Upon his return to Turkey, he will start working with Settar (Ahmet Mümtaz Taylan), the senior detective of the Murder Office. A quiet and calm character, Kemal is a successful policeman who has achieved what he has with his natural talent and special education. He has a great love for his profession.
Kemal's sudden decision to return to Turkey from Britain's elite detective training academy has surprised everyone. Kemal has settled in a house inherited from his family and pursues a secret about his wife and his child. In the summertime, he will return to the country where he and his family had gone on holiday and also face secrets there.
Kemal's return to his homeland and Settar's last mission before his retirement takes them to something neither has ever faced before. All the talents of this duo need to stretch beyond their experience. They are investigating murders not committed for revenge, honor or interest but for other goals. They uncover new hints and new questions with every step they take. Kemal will try to analyze cases with Settar, who works almost entirely against his methods. The solution to these murders may only be possible with this contrast in their working styles. Kemal and Settar are two successful detectives who can reach the same solution with different methods.
Kenan İmirzalıoğlu stated they worked with a team who knew their job very well in the story and production stages of the series. They did a special job that all will proudly watch even years later. He added that in working with Ahmet Mümtaz Taylan in this series, he is working with a master.
