The series begins with a fuel-theft gang known for smuggling diesel, who work for a powerful family that runs the entire area.
The only thing they get in return is, as Ramo says, "bones given to dogs".
While the gang does the dirty work, Cengiz, the boss, gets all the money.
Ramo, unable to accept this treatment, decides to change the system no matter what it takes.
He raises riot flags with the first opportunity he gets, just as his father did during his time.
Ramo's deepest wound is the sole reason he is ready to fight with everything he has.
His war will not only be against his enemies, but also his family, friends and even himself.
And through it all, his biggest test will be his overwhelming love for Sibel, the daughter of his arch nemesis.
