Premise

Maryam (Mariyam Majudha), a strong and intelligent woman who manages her family including her supportive husband, Ihsaan (Ali Shazleem), daughter and sick father, while working ambitiously at the Health Post of the island, is introduced to the politics, as persuaded by her friends to defeat, Adhunan Haleem (Ahmed Saeed), the current MP representing their constituency. As soon as Maryam wins the primary election to represent the opposition party, the leader of the party, Ibrahim Naeem (Mohamed Waheed) is bribed by Haleem to call off the party seat, which puts an additional burden on Maryam financially.
