The story centers on Chaudhry Hashmat Khan, a formidable feudal lord who governs the village of Sikandarpur with an iron fist. As the government plans to construct a dam that threatens his ancestral lands, Chaudhry Hashmat, along with his son Chaudhry Yaqub and grandsons Chaudhry Anwar Ali and Chaudhry Niaz Ali, strives to retain control over their estate. The drama delves into themes of feudal politics, familial conflicts, and the socio-economic transformations occurring in Pakistani society at the time. There is vicious intra-family feudal politics at play.

The drama unfolds in urban Karachi and centers on Saeeda (Roohi Bano), a principled and resilient woman who endures profound setbacks—most notably being expelled from her home by her husband. Faced with adversity, she relocates to a lower-income neighborhood, determined to rebuild a life for herself and her children. Facing societal prejudice, financial hardship, and emotional turmoil, she finds strength in her character, dignity, and the support of kind-hearted neighbors. The story captures the struggles of middle-class women, the harsh realities of a male-dominated society, and the courage it takes to stand up for oneself while raising a family.
