Plot

In the vibrant heart of Istanbul during the 1970s, we meet the highly esteemed Kara family, headed by the benevolent Nazif, known as 'Karadayi' or the 'benign godfather'. The Karas are the pillars of their working-class neighborhood, and on this particular day, they are celebrating the nuptials of their eldest son, Mahir. However, amid the joyous festivities, an unexpected visit from the police shatters their happiness. The police demand to speak with Mahir urgently, but Nazif, not wanting to interrupt his son's special day, steps forth to address the matter. Upon reaching the Attorney General's office, Nazif is met with a shocking sight—the Attorney General, lifeless and stabbed. Unthinkingly, he reaches out to check for a pulse, only to be found holding the murder weapon. With no more than this circumstantial evidence, Nazif faces a chilling prospect: the death penalty. The family's hopes sink further when they learn the judge presiding over the case is Feride, a formidable lawyer with a steadfast dedication to the rules, logic, and seemingly devoid of empathy. Alongside her stands the corrupt prosecutor, Turgut, who has his own sinister motives for swiftly securing a conviction. Convinced that the courts will not deliver justice, Mahir embarks on a daring mission. With the assistance of a courthouse employee, he assumes a new identity as 'Salih Ipek', a budding lawyer apprenticed to Judge Feride. Yet, amidst this bleak predicament, a spark of love unexpectedly ignites between Mahir and Feride. Meanwhile, Mahir's nemesis, Mehmet Saim, is fully aware of the gravity of the situation. He is determined to prevent Mahir from uncovering the truth behind the crime, thereby leading him to seek out Istanbul's most ruthless bully. Unforeseen alliances are formed, leading to a string of events that could change the course of their lives. In a parallel subplot, we meet Orhan, who is released from custody just in time for his wedding day. However, unbeknownst to his family, Orhan's release is part of a larger, more treacherous scheme. Orhan is tasked with a mission that will test his courage and character. In another corner of Istanbul, Necdet is arrested on suspicion of murdering her husband, Sinan. Oblivious to Necdet's predicament, Alice continues her life, unknowingly playing the role of the victim. As the day of Mahir and Feride's wedding arrives, there's a sweet flurry of activity in the Kara household. The air is filled with anticipation and excitement, but unbeknownst to them, a storm is brewing that will forever change their lives. The Uncle in Black is a captivating saga of love, deception, and the relentless pursuit of justice, where every moment holds the potential to alter lives irrevocably.
