Due to his straightforward behavior, Saleem (Ali Shameel) is fired from his job which he lies to his wife Wafiyya (Aminath Rasheedha) as quitting the job for self-respect. When she inquires about his decision, frustrated Saleem divorces her. He takes custody of their only child, Nihan (Ismail Rasheed) and takes good care of him. He later marries his neighbor, Amira (Zuleykha Abdul Latheef) who acts like a mother-figure to Nihan until she delivers her first child. Nihan constantly being harassed by his step-mother becomes neglected by his own father, too. Meanwhile, Amira conspires against Nihan which leads into his banishment from their island.
