Premise
Niuma (Niuma Abdul Raheem) a smart playgirl is instantly attracted to a photographer and artist, Shakeeb (Mohamed Shakeeb), who outright rejects her, which costs him the relationship between his brother and an unnecessary enmity with a wealthy and powerful businessman, Shiham, the brother of Niuma. Shakeeb moves to Th. Hirilandhoo, where he meets Greysha, an underprivileged woman who relocates to the same island evading her short-tempered landlord. Shakeeb falls in love with Greysha, who is also caught by the attention of her current landlord, Shareef (Easa Shareef), a well-mannered architect. Meanwhile, Niuma makes every attempt to trace Shakeeb to avenge him for tarnishing her reputation.
