Set against the backdrop of a wealthy Muslim community, the story explores themes of love, betrayal, and the clash between modernity and tradition. Zarrie Bano, a glamorous heiress, finds her romantic plans thwarted by her father's disapproval of her fiancé, Sikander.

The narrative unfolds across contemporary Pakistan, London, and Egypt, highlighting the complexities of familial duty and personal desire.
