Plot Synopsis

THE PROTECTOR is a one-hour superhero fantasy series that follows the epic adventure of Hakan, a young shopkeeper whose modern world gets turned upside down when he learns he's connected to a secret ancient order, tasked with protecting Istanbul. At the story's start, Hakan couldn't be further from a hero -- just an ordinary guy in this city of 15 million, where East meets West and past meets present. The story opens with Hakan desperately seeking opportunities to fund his next business venture, when he comes across a talismanic shirt potentially worth a lot of money. He has a hard time believing the story of the Protector, and must quickly learn that his hometown is under threat from the mysterious, mystical Immortals. It's his job to stop them. But despite being told to stay put so the Immortal can't reach him, he sneaks out to find Memo. Will he fulfill his destiny as the last protector?
