Rudaba is an innocent girl, who is engaged to her father's best friend's son, Buland Bakhtiar. Rudaba is not happy with her engagement, because she thinks Buland who has lived most of his life in America will be a nontraditional person, and she'd never like. Her brother, Adil, is married to Saira, who is a clever and manipulating woman. Saira is the sister of Bashar Momin, a rich money launderer who loves deeply two of his sisters, and wants them happy at any cost.
