A dark, revenge-driven melodrama sustained across 71 episodes by a protagonist's obsessive quest to understand betrayal and exact retribution against those he once loved.

Ömer, a young man returning from military service, is set up by his friends and fiancé and ends up in prison for ten years. He fakes his own death and manages to escape. He re-creates himself as ‘Ezel’, a high-end gambler who is outwardly a successful man, but inwardly driven by one thing - his determination to understand why the people he loved betrayed him, and take his revenge.
