But due to Sabah's strict parenting and disapproval of her daughter's actions, Cherine runs away. Now, with family gatherings always around the corner, Sabah must choose whether to accept her mistakes as a dictating parent and face her past, or continue her stubborn way of thinking and eventually lose her youngest daughter as well. With the help of her sister and brother-in-law, Layla and Karim, Sabah must change her ways for better or for worse. Ultimately, it's up to her.
