She meets Erhan, a very well respected archaeologist, and that’s when Atiye’s happy, stable life turns to a full 180 (degrees).
Discovering mysterious secrets in one of the most ancient and preserved temples on Earth – Gobekli Tepe. Erhan discovers a secret in the form of some strange ancient symbols that need to be deciphered.
Atiye, on the contrary, says that she has been making that symbol ever since she can remember. Despite never coming across lest seeing the symbol anywhere in her life. In the ruin of the temple lies the ancient symbol covered in rubble in which, for some reason, links to Atiye. She is now on a never-ending quest to find out why her past is related to the mystery that is the symbol.

On a different note, her mother happens to be in the asylum, Erhan engaged to another woman. Cansu is killed, Atiye goes to Erhan for help then goes to Gobekli Tepe, a mysterious door at the ancient site will help Atiye get sister back.
There, Atiye sees Cansu in the distance, the center of the room, and says she wants to bring her back to the ‘real’ world. Atiye suddenly is back in the city as the transition happens in a blackout. However, this time, when she goes out to meet Cansu, “Casnu” corrects Atiye and says her name is Elif and does not know her.
Consequently, by bringing Cansu back, Atiye may have gone even deeper into the past realm, which changed things for the second season. With a different present, where Atiye’s mother is in an asylum and Erhan, engaged and married to another woman, Cansu has never been adopted and now goes by the name “Elif,” and no one (cast) knows her.
To point out, the Gobekli Tepe is called so due to its strong resemblance to a pregnant woman’s belly, which is also gone, and in consequence, pregnant women are dying.
Season 2 will follow Atiye as she defeats the evil entities, such as Ozan’s father, Serdar, while defending the pregnant women.
