Istanbul, 1970s. The Kara family is highly respected in the working class area where they live and Mahir’s father Nazif is looked upon as ‘Karadayi’– the benign godfather of the area, who people turn to for advice and help in time of need. Unfortunately, the family’s life turns upside down because of a wrongful accusation that results in the imprisonment of Nazif Kara for a murder he didn’t commit.
