Plot
As theft, street robbery, smuggling and other crimes increase in Istanbul, chief inspector Yavuz—known as “Adanalı”—is called back to the city to fight organized crime. His target is Maraz Ali, whom he has known since childhood. Once dismissed from the police force, Maraz Ali runs a major criminal empire from behind the appearance of an ordinary car wash. Their confrontation places a former bond on opposite sides of the law. İdil, a police officer from the United States, joins the investigation and tries to introduce new policing methods. Maraz Ali’s interest in İdil further intensifies the conflict between the two men. The series combines crime, action and comedy around this central pursuit.
