In Foça, Gece meets Özgür, a handsome instructor at the Surf club where Gülce is enrolled.

As Gece and Özgür grow closer, Gece learns to perceive life from a more mature perspective, while Özgür realizes that life is too short to be postponed.[4] The unexpected arrival of Emir in Foça brings new obstacles into Gece's life.
