Plot

Yaman, who lives in one of the Istanbul's suburbs which is called Tozludere, is arrested and put in jail with his brother because his brother stole a car in gas station. Until that day he tried to change his destiny by working hard to earn a good life. That evening he was unwillingly introduced to crime and his clean dossier was tainted. He meets a rich lawyer, Selim Serez. Selim sees that Yaman is an innocent and promising young man. Once Yaman is out of jail, he gets into more, even though he is trying hard to stay out of it. Selim sees this and offers him an offer. He could come to his house and work there for a week, and if he likes it, he could live with them. Yaman doesn't take the offer seriously at first, but after problems that surface after his return to his house, he realizes he won't be able to continue his life where he left it. Yaman doesn't refuse Selim's offer this time and he takes a new step towards the door that leads to a new world offered to him by a man whom he met under bad circumstances. Even if Yaman is aware that there are no miracles in real life, he doesn't have another chance apart from going through that door. Carrying the weight of past on his shoulders, among people he doesn't know, he will face a more difficult life than the one he had in Tozludere.
