In a family drama framework full of action, crime, and gangs, "The Pit"(Çukur) has garnered immense popularity since its debut in 2017 and a devoted following of viewers who have grown attached to its stars and their stories, which center on a dangerous neighborhood ruled by the "Koçovalı" family. Yamaç, the protagonist of the tale, falls in love with a stunning girl and makes plans to wed her. However, his mother's encouragement to return to the area after the murder of his older brother Kahraman completely upends his existence.
