Premise

The series highlights several social issues arising including inadequate housing, absence of birth control measures, improper medical treatments, lack of family planning within a large family living in a congested housing complex.

Adam Manik (Ibrahim Shakir) and Hawwa Manike (Arifa Ibrahim) have seven children; a taxi driver, Mausoom (Ali Shameel), a mechanical engineer, Azmee (Hassan Afeef), a retailer, Saamee (Ahmed Giyas), a TV presenter, Rashfa (Aishath Shiranee), a student pursued to be a doctor, Shiyana (Niuma Mohamed), a spoiled son, Ihusan (Hamdhoon) and Shifa (Aminath Sheleen). Mausoom is married to the righteous woman, Aminath (Aminath Rasheedha) who is the only daughter-in-law in the family with a superior upbringing, while Azmee's wife, Jeeza (Neena Saleem) and Saamee's wife, Farasha (Shahudha) are two indolent women who prefers to live independent from the family. Mausoom and Adam Manike advise them to sneak away from the clutches of their nasty wives. Aminath gives birth to a child who often gets sick and is later diagnosed to be a Thalassemia patient.

The over protected daughters, Rashfa and Shiyana, secretly start dating a shopkeeper, Umar (Ismail Wajeeh) and a wealthy entrepreneur, Kamil (Reeko Moosa Manik). Unable to tolerate the harshness of Farasha, Saamee divorces her and marries Mariyam. This is followed by additional inconveniences in the family with discrimination against Umar and Jeeza giving birth to a child suffering from a health disorder due to the non-prescribed use of pharmaceutical drugs.
