After the death of their father, four sisters come together years later in the hostel they inherited from their father. Yasemin, the eldest, has been working in this hostel with her husband for many years. After the death of their mother and the remarriage of her father, Nilüfer moved out of the city for university and moved away from her family. Defne is the free-spirited daughter of the family; like Nilüfer, she has also moved out of the city but has not drifted away from her family. Their youngest sister Deniz is Mehmet's daughter by his second wife Anna. These four young women, who are different from each other, walk into the sea together for the first time after a long time on the shore where they grew up together.
