One day, a tragedy happens in the coalmine due to the neglect of the boss. When it rains a lot, a mine owner Malik (Murat Daltapan) does not take it seriously despite all the warnings and does not let workers to stop working at the coalmine. Miners are locked down inside the coalmine and many of them pass away when the mine collapses.

Even though the mine owner has a full responsibility for this tragedy, he threatens workers in order not to give compensation. Davut cannot stand for this injustice and decides to raise his voice against this tyranny.

Davut is determined to go to the city officials and inform them what has happened in the coalmine. On his way to the city, he bumps into Malik’s daughter Gulfem (Esra Bilgic).

Gulfem is a beautiful young girl who has grown up in a wealthy family without knowing the realities of life. She lives happily together with her father and her two sisters in a forgiving environment.

Gulfem is strong, stubborn and courageous. She rides a horse without fear and challenges the stereotypes against women. This makes her different from other girls.

Gulfem, initially, supports her father and does not understand the resistance of the workers at the coalmine. Her younger sister Fikriye (Serdem Pacal), on the other hand, reads a lot and for this reason, she does not approve her father’s attitudes towards the poor people.

At first, Gulfem strongly opposes Davut. She considers him unruly, disobedient, and rude. However, she begins to admire him as she knows more about him.

Meanwhile, Malik wants her daughter Gulfem to get married to a wealthy mining boss Ali (Necip Memili).
