When she accidentally comes across Emir Sarrafoglu (Cagatay Ulusoy), one of the richest and most handsome student of the University, - nicknamed the heir of the night life because his father, Unal, has a very fancy night club, Hills - Feriha pretends she is rich too and tries to behave like the rich ones, hiding who she really is.
