    The detectives are polar opposites. Young Kemal (Kenan İmirzalıoğlu), who has returned to Istanbul after a stint at Scotland Yard, has a rational and analytical approach. As for the hardboiled veteran Settar (Ahmet Mümtaz Taylan), he relies on instinct. Eventually, they bond and become increasingly reliant on female Islamic history professor Yasar (Melisa Sözen) to unlock symbols tied to the ancient Qalandariyya cult. BluTV in Turkey and Achla TV in Israel aired the series.
