She was his damage control.
He was her stolid storm.
Their marriage, a PR campaign.
He didn't believe in love.
She didn't need him to.
When Sira and Ahad sign their Nikah papers, they expect nothing but distance and indifference from each other. They have only one rule in their marriage- cling in public, detach in private.
Their perfect plan starts to crumble when they begin to irk and intrigue each other, to the point that they begin to explore the horizons of passion and vulnerability, only to realise the ultimate truth - that love lures you when you least expect it to, that it holds you captive and frees you only when you embrace it.
