Medcezir / Tide - presentation of the TV series

Yaman (Cagatay Ulusoy) is a young man who lives in a poor neighborhood of Istanbul with his parents (mother and stepfather) and elder brother, Kenan. The latter is a criminal, but Yaman has good potential and would be a successful person if he were given a chance. On his birthday evening Kenan steals a car, takes his brother with him and they are immediately caught by the police. Both brothers have the chance to be given a good lawyer, Selim Serez, who sees Yaman potential and absolves him of any blame. Though, Kenan is sentenced to a year of prison because he had been involved in various crimes before.

Selim is married to a rich woman, Ender, who is an architect, and they have a teenager son, Mert. They live in his wife's parents' villa in a luxurious neighborhood. Because Yaman has reached a difficult time of his life as soon as the trial finishes, Selim offers to help him with shelter and job in exchange for the promise to continue his education and stay out of trouble. Here Yaman meets Mira, a rich girl living next to Selim's villa, who falls in love with Yaman at first sight and then, little by little this sparkle will develop into a deep love.

But can they adapt to the situation they are involved in?  Can Yaman fully understand the rich men's world and can Mira overcome all prejudices and love a man who comes from a very different social background​​?
