Plot

A serial killer (Diren Polatoğulları) is stalking Çıngıraklı, a tight-knit Roman neighborhood with little regard for outsiders. He leaves three pennies on each of his victims’ body, and the case is assigned to the Organized Crime Unit. Its captain, Efe (Ekin Koç), initially suspects Kartal (Uraz Kaygılaroğlu), a Romani mafia leader who is the neighborhood “protector” and Efe's target. However, as Efe realizes that Kartal is not the killer, the cop and the mafia leader form an uneasy alliance to find Çıngıraklı's “Three Penny serial Killer.”

Efe has always looked at Kartal's neighborhood as a breeding ground for criminals and lowlifes, but this case helps him see through the Romani perspective. The unexpected connection between the Three Penny serial Killer and Kartal's tragic past will call into question everything he believes.

Filming

While the series was shot in the Balat district of the Fatih district of Istanbul and the Çayırbaşı district of the Sarıyer district, some scenes take place in the old shoe factory in Beykoz.
