Synopsis

The series revolves around a contentious, unexpected and sensational kidnap-murder case of a youthful girl named Ayla Nadeem, who is wedded to the only son of the town's distinguished tycoon and billionaire. As the fateful tragedy strikes that one supposed romantic night, her love-arranged marriage that only could breathe for a few days, with her college sweetheart, Daniyal Mujib isn't given a chance to prosper into a domestic saga of love. The story tangles into the cobwebs of deceit, greed and mystery of a maze that envelopes those around Ayla. With everyone linked to the case weaving different mysteries on their own and suppressing their true natures behind well-designed facades and through and through the only question that remains is, Will the investigation authorities find their grip over the lapel of the mastermind behind all of this?
