When Fardous agrees to an arranged marriage with Amir, her sister's former fiancé , she doesn't expect peace, let alone affection.

Zayd, a young man caught between familial expectations and personal dreams, returns to his hometown searching for meaning. There, he meets Layla, a resilient and independent woman whose strength masks the wounds of her own scarred history.
