After a sudden incident, Baki, a Muslim mortician, or ghassal, begins to worry about what will become of his body after death and who will take care of it. Concerned about his loneliness and fears, his friend suggests that getting married might be a solution.

Baki continues his search for someone to handle his posthumous washing and finds hope in Nazım, a man who relies on his wife's approval for every decision. Once he secures this approval, Baki eagerly starts teaching Nazım the rituals of washing the deceased. However, an unexpected event takes him by surprise.

With Nazım’s death and Baki performing the late offices, Baki’s search for a successor begins anew. Nazım’s widow refuses to bury him next to his brother due to their past conflicts. Meanwhile, Baki starts preparing halva for Nazım, a task that brings back painful memories.

Following Nazım's death, Ahmet visits Baki, advising him to find a wife to fill the emptiness of his home. While performing the washing ritual for the mafia boss Taylan, Baki is struck by the contrast between the ostentatious wealth and the hollow mourning. Merdan, the new hearse driver, is initially deceived by the crowd's show of grief but eventually uncovers the true nature of the gathering.

Baki visits Elif at her workplace for the first time, unintentionally disturbing the employees with his presence. When Elif asks for his assistance with a patient, Baki gets accidentally injured in the process. As he tries to convey his thoughts to Elif, his clumsy wording leads to a misunderstanding between them.

Baki visits his friend Ahmet, who fondly reminisces about how he fell in love with his wife, Neslihan. Inspired, Baki tries to replicate Ahmet's experience in his own search for love. However, he unexpectedly runs into Kerime, the bride who once rejected him, leading to an uncomfortable encounter with her mother.

Baki receives the news of his father Haris's release with great trepidation. He travels to the village to take him home, where they meet twenty years later in a strange irony. The tension between them quickly escalates, triggering an argument that brings back painful memories.

Seeing Nadir still terrified of washing the dead, Baki suggests he consider a career change. Determined to help, Baki scours his old notebooks for internship opportunities for Nadir and even takes out a loan to support him in starting a new path.

Baki is involved in a car accident and crosses paths with his rival for Elif's love. When they confront each other at Ahmet's house, Elif is forced to reveal a long-hidden secret that plunges everyone into grief and confusion.

Uncle Hüseyin and Baki share a deep conversation that transforms Baki's outlook on life. As Baki prepares to meet Elif, a tragic and heartbreaking event binds their fates together.

Baki learns that as a single man and a mortician, he has little chance of gaining custody of the orphans. Determined to keep them with him, he decides to change jobs.

Learning that there's no one to replace him, Baki is unsure of his next move. When Hande and Merdan find out the new mortician is single, they try to convince Baki to talk to her.

Baki rents out his late friend’s house to Nihan, but with strict rules. At the municipality’s request, they attend the former muhtar’s death anniversary together.

Baki receives news that time is running out to secure the children’s custody. Without the municipality’s knowledge, Merdan takes Nihan and Baki to a funeral home.

Baki hesitates to attend his grandmother’s funeral, still wounded by her past rejection. Nihan convinces him to go, but at the funeral, Baki confronts the family that once abandoned him and uncovers a devastating truth about his past.

Baki worries about the adoption of two orphans by prospective parents and secretly plans to meet them. He and Nihan visit his biological mother, stirring mixed feelings. Their shared pain draws them closer with an unexpected question.

Baki’s preparations for a marriage of convenience are cut short by a funeral brought to the mortuary. After what happens there, he leaves with a genuine desire for marriage, not a white one.

The mayor holds a meeting with the mortuary staff, urging them to focus on "customer satisfaction." Nihan and Baki are unsure how to handle the Christian couple brought to the mortuary.

While Baki searches for daisies to cheer up Nihan, she witnesses an unusual mourning and a sudden birth that shake her view of life and death.

Nihan sinks into deep depression, refusing to leave home for days. One of three bodies brought to the mortuary unexpectedly belongs to someone close. Baki finds out what he must do to get Nihan out of the house.
