A street kid discovers the body of a convicted murderer who was only recently released from prison. Riza Bastürk had to atone for the death of his foster father and mentor, the famous star chef Süleyman Çamlik, for ten years. His death raises many questions. His parents, who have a small hairdressing business and were never able to provide him with an education, mourn their "lost" son. At the same time, his biological father comes under suspicion, as he was the last person to see Riza alive. But what motive for murder should he have? Was it an accident? a fall? With the help of the new pathologist Derya, who is also Inspector Mehmet Özakin's new neighbor, Özakin comes across clues that the key to the current one lies in the old case. All traces lead to Çamlik's widow, a dazzling society lady, and their son Deniz, for whom the dead man was like a brother for a long time. Until it became clear that Riza had a lot more talent than Deniz. Did he murder his rival because he knew too much about his existential difficulties and his business behind the glittering facade of the starred restaurant? When inspector Özakin finds evidence of illegal structures, a race against time begins.
