The plot revolves around Saba Faraz (Sanam Baloch), an ambitious and confident girl and Ammar Saud (Ali Rehman Khan), a charming and handsome businessman who is actually a narcissist. After Ammar's family sends a marriage proposal for Saba, she is reluctant to get married as she wants to focus on her career after completing her post-graduate studies. However, Ammar adamantly pursues Saba and gets her approval. In the process, Saba falls for Ammar's false charms. It is only after they get married that Ammar's true colours begin to show. He disrespects her and insults her. When she gets a job offer from Ammar's office, he gets jealous of her career and disapproves on her decision of taking the job in the worst way possible. Further in the show it shows Saba's struggle in getting out of the toxic marriage and moving on.
