Plot

Season 1

Hassan (Roanu Hassan Manik) and Maariya (Arifa Ibrahim) are a cheerful and wealthy couple living their old-aged lives with their children, Nazim (Mohamed Faisal), Hanim (Yoosuf Shafeeu), Azim (Ravee Farooq), Ganim (Ali Azim) and Hanim's wife, Sheeza (Sheela Najeeb). Nazim, the accountable member of the family leads the family business and notices that its accountant, Jihad (Ali Shazleem) is involved in a financial scam. Hoping to eliminate the threat, Jihad assigns a group of thugs to murder Nazim but his younger brother, Hanim unintentionally gets involved in the assault and is ultimately killed by them, interrupting the peace of the family. Meanwhile, Azim is romantically attracted to married woman, Minha (Mariyam Azza) who is suffering a domestically abused marriage by her drunk husband, Mauroof (Ahmed Easa). After their third divorce, Mauroof manipulates Minha to consummate a marriage with Azim, only to remarry him after the divorce.

In an interrogation session with Jihad, Nazim realizes that he has been adopted by Hassan and Maariya. This leads him to search for his birth mother, Khadheeja (Mariyam Haleem), an underprivileged orphan, who had to handover baby Nazim to the family as he was a result of a brutal rape by an invader. During this visit, Nazim bumps into Shauna (Aminath Rishfa), a pretty young woman who was initially in a relationship with his cousin, Akmal (Ibrahim Jihad), a womanizer. The youngest of the family, Ghanim, initiates a romantic affair with Shaha (Irufana Ibrahim), the girlfriend of Munthasir (Abdullah Shafiu Ibrahim), one of the thugs involved in Hanim's murder.

Nazim encounters with his father, Fuad, and narrowly escapes from a death trap, which leads the latter to be self-poisoned in the process. As the newly-wed brides enter the family, Akmal becomes distressed welcoming Shauna as his sister-in-law. Meanwhile, he befriends with Shaha and together they conspire against the whole family, each with their personal vendetta. From threatening Shauna to plotting against Nazim and Sheeza, they succeed in breaking the family into pieces. However, soon Azim realizes the wrongdoing by them and put the puzzle pieces together to prove Akmal intends to eliminate Nazim from the family business and Shaha plans to save Munthasir from the death penalty.

Season 2

Hoping to evade the trouble of Zoya (Nashidha Mohamed), a mentally unstable woman, Nazim reveals that she is his half-sister, only for her to find out later that she actually is a result of an extramarital affair by her mother (Aminath Rasheedha). Akmal blackmails Shauna with explicit photos and videos of their previous affair, into having intimacy with her. Mauroof seeks help of a black magic practitioner (Ali Farooq) to cast a spell on the relationship of Minha and Azim.
