Gozleri Karadeniz

While returning to his hometown Rize from a long voyage, Azil cannot remain indifferent to the illegal situation on his ship and thus makes a fierce enemy. Meanwhile, Mehmet Maçari, the heir of the Maçari family from Rize, who lives in Istanbul, is released from prison. Mehmet is on the verge of making important decisions for both the woman he loves and his family. Güneş Aydınay, who is in Rize for business, coincidentally meets Azil, who saves her from a difficult situation. In a short period of time, while Azil and Güneş are listening to each other's past, they are unaware that their future will be built from this acquaintance. When Osman Maçari shares the secret he has kept for years, the Maçari family, tied to each other by invisible strings, has entered a path of no return.

The enemy he faces causes Azil to experience one of the greatest pains in his life. To make up for this pain, Azil sets off on a journey to Istanbul with his foster brother Dursun. Osman Maçari does not leave his son Azil, whom he has been longing for for years, alone in his fight. The men of the Maçari family come together for the first time against Havva Kırkayvaz, the arch-enemy of the family and Azil. Mehmet is worried that Azil's arrival will shake his position within the family. Meanwhile, under pressure from Havva and Hidayet, he finds himself in the middle of an increasingly tight circle. Learning that Güneş is the family's future bride, Azil is forced to get involved in the Maçari family's business, albeit unwillingly, while trying to control his emotions. In this process, Güneş's desire to be close to Azil drags the couple into a dangerous situation.

The adventure that Azil and Güneş embark on together attracts the attention of everyone in the house, especially Nermin and Mehmet. The game that Mehmet set up to escape the pressure of Havva and Hidayet will once again endanger the reputation of the Maçari name. Azil, who suddenly finds himself in the middle of the Maçari family's shady dealings, warns Osman that there is a mole inside. It is only a matter of time before Mehmet, who has been cornered, is exposed. Güneş is moving step by step towards marriage with Mehmet, even though she does not want it at all. While she clings to the beauty of a possible future with Azil, she must make the right decision between the voice of her heart and her invisible chains.

Shaken by Güneş’s response to Mehmet’s marriage proposal, Azil leaves the house with Dursun to track down the traitor who infiltrated the Maçari family. But the person he encounters at the meeting place will leave him facing a major dilemma and force him to make an important decision. Dursun, sworn to avenge his mother, is driven by rage onto a path of no return. While trying to protect Dursun, Azil ends up in a jail cell—only to be rescued by lawyer Güneş. Meanwhile, conversations in the council about Mehmet spark Osman Maçari’s suspicions, prompting Mehmet to start scheming to conceal his betrayal. Aware of Güneş’s hesitation about marriage, Nermin keeps pressing her from every direction. As the wedding preparations continue, with Asiye’s moral support behind her, Güneş’s last hope is for Azil to extend his hand and pull her out of this spiral.

All the preparations for Güneş and Mehmet’s wedding are complete, and the signing of the papers is just moments away. Waiting with hope until the very last second, Azil leaves the mansion for good when Güneş says “Yes.” Suspecting that Mehmet has been scheming behind his back, Osman eventually learns the truth about his son and disowns him from the family. Unable to bear the stress any longer, his body finally gives out, putting his life in danger. While the family is left helplessly waiting in shock over Osman’s critical condition, Güneş is filled with deep disappointment toward Azil for keeping the truth from her. Still, with Osman’s and the Maçari family’s safety at stake, the two are forced to take rational steps. As Azil prepares to leave Istanbul on a long journey, never to see the Maçaris again, he receives an offer he never expected

Azil's rise to the helm of the family creates a bombshell effect in the Maçari mansion. Nermin, who is furious with this development, does not hesitate to play her last card and shares the photos with her family members. While waiting for Osman's decision, Güneş and Azil, who have listened to the events from both of them separately, are forced to confront once again their impossibilities for each other. Mehmet, who was excommunicated from his family, has now become the target of his enemies. As he desperately tries to plan his next move, he is in constant danger of being assassinated. Unable to bear the events, especially her aunt's sarcastic words, Güneş decides to go out of town for a few days on business. This decision she made to get away from Istanbul for a while will drag her onto a route she never expected, and she will need Azil's help to escape the irreversible consequences.

Following Güneş's accident, the entire family arrives in Rize. The endangering of Güneş's life once again plunges Mehmet and Azil into a major conflict. Osman, learning that Mehmet was responsible for the accident, once again tells Mehmet to stay away from the family. Alienated from both his family and Güneş in the process, Mehmet is now even more ambitious. He needs Nermin's help in his quest for revenge. Nermin, fueled by Ayla's threats and her anger towards Güneş, is forced to make promises to help her son. Azil, now the head of the family, will bring the entire family to a major crossroads with his decision. The love between Güneş and Azil is shaken by Azil's decision, and the two will face a major test.

As Azil analyzes his situation following Mehmet's threats, he tries not to let his tension spill over onto Güneş. He begins to consider all the possibilities that could arise if Mehmet reveals family secrets to the police. As she awaits the trial, Güneş worries that Mehmet could change his mind at any moment. Meanwhile, as she realizes Aslı's interest in Azil, she must once again suppress her feelings, remaining silent out of desperation to claim Azil. As Mehmet restructures the flow of the drug trade, he devises a dangerous game. This new game leads Azil to a point of no return. On the verge of making a crucial decision for the family's safety, Azil brings the matter to Osman, who is once again shaken by his son's betrayal. The Maçari family have no choice but to follow the bitter prescription.

Thanks to Güneş and Azil’s last-minute intervention, Mehmet’s execution is stopped just in time. However, when Güneş announces that she no longer wants a divorce, Azil is left stunned. Just as they were beginning to grow closer, Mehmet once again stands between them like an unbreakable wall. While still haunted by the fear of death, Mehmet also faces a devastating truth, it was his own father who ordered his execution. Realizing once again that he will never truly be part of the Maçari family, Mehmet sets his sights on strengthening his position in the underworld with a far more ruthless plan. Meanwhile, Güneş and Azil move quickly to take precautions, fearing that Mehmet might become an informant. As head of the council, Azil announces his decisions, but Güneş, caught in her own dangerous trap, ends up being ensnared in the very game she created. Forced to surrender once more to Mehmet, she finds herself in grave danger.

Having witnessed the growing closeness between Güneş and Azil, Osman struggles to process what he’s seen but before he can react, the police abruptly take him into custody. Mehmet has done exactly what he threatened: he’s turned informant, revealing everything about his family and the council. In Osman’s absence, Azil assumes full leadership, determined to protect both his family and the Maçari name. Meanwhile, Mehmet, intoxicated by his newfound power after becoming an informant, plunges into yet another dangerous venture with Havva and Sado by his side, unaware that his path is about to collide with Azil’s. When a surprising offer of cooperation arrives from higher authorities, it presents Azil with a potential way to save Osman. As he embarks on a perilous mission to do so, his bond with Güneş deepens. By the end of it all, Azil makes a pivotal decision, one that will forever alter the course of their relationship.
