The series' main character, Ateş Hekimoğlu (based on Gregory House) is a famous doctor specializing in infectious diseases and nephrology. He is emotionally distant from his patients, believes in scientific findings rather than what is being told, loves puzzles, and is very pragmatic, neglecting hospital rules and laws when it comes to diagnosis and treatment. The plot also follows his friend from medical school, the hospital manager İpek, and his other close friend, the oncology specialist Orhan. Mehmet Ali, Zeynep and Emre, who make up the team and have very different backgrounds, are in competition with each other to win Hekimoğlu's favor.
