55 parts Complete Alaya Sadhwani is a beautiful 17-year-old girl who lives with her parents and four siblings in rural Sindh, Pakistan.
Exactly like all the other members of her family, she is a farm laborer in the direct employ of her master, a wealthy and powerful landowner who has ruled the area for decades.
Bound to him by a debt they can never repay, and dating back as far as three generations earlier, the Sadhwans live by the day, juggling the drudgery of work, daily prayers, and a few unforeseen mishaps that threaten to upset the already fragile balance on which the family's survival rests.
An observant and devout Muslim, Alaya has a deep affection for all of them, although she shares a particularly close bond with her little sister Liyana and her mother Shaima, a good-hearted but also strict and extremely religious woman.
Although her parents try to marry her off to a cousin, the girl secretly dreams of being able to marry Basim, the charming son of a small local merchant, with whom she has been secretly talking for a few years.
Fate, however, is known to be disinclined to bestow its favors on those who turn out to be dirt poor, and the whims of fate rarely meet the tastes of those who dare to hope.
But what if for once the predictions were overturned?
What if this really is the occasion when good fortune will come to a dreamer?
