Plot summary

At the Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, a lieutenant called Hatice reports unusual solar waves. Then, we are introduced to Arman, a freespirited scuba diver and a submarine engineer. Arman reluctantly embarks on a submarine research trip near Incirlik. They become aware of a global catastrophe: the Sun has become lethal to humans without thick shielding such as deep water. They arrive at Kos where a military submarine, the Yakamoz S-245, has surfaced, and the two crews join forces. They search for survivors but none are found and some of the crew die. Before dawn breaks the surviving crew return to the submarine where tensions come to a head. Following an explosion the submarine is damaged and two, including Arman, go outside to fix it. The Yakamoz crew then discover an intruder: it is Hatice, who has stowed away to hide from the Sun. After further events they decide to head for a seed vault in Norway, tying the program into its sister series Into the Night.
