Sawera, born of one sister and adopted by another, spends her life looking for love, especially when her adoptive mother has her own sons and stops paying attention to the little girl. A Pakistani by birth and brought up in Saudi Arabia, she belongs nowhere and to no one. Beautiful, lonely, restless and vulnerable, a victim of her sexual urges and her immaturity, all of seventeen, she finds herself married to an uncouth man from her home country, for whom she is nothing but a piece of flesh.
In a short span of time, she becomes a mother of four children – unwanted, uncared for – in an abusive household. For the sake of her children, she resolves to change her circumstances, at whatever cost. She manages to go back to her family in Saudi who feel nothing but contempt for this burdensome daughter. Even though she is naïve, she also happens to be manipulative and aware of her sensuality, which she uses to her advantage. Thinking that she has made a very good move, she gets an ‘almost’ Saudi man to marry her, who promises to love and cherish her as well as her children. Well, it doesn’t happen and after yet another ugly divorce, she takes matters in her own hands and becomes independent. She works in a beauty salon and is gradually able to build her business in Saudi. Just when things are beginning to look better, her sponsor accuses her of prostitution and forcefully deports her from Saudi.
Blacklisted as an illegal immigrant, dejected, empty-handed and having nowhere else to go, she lives with her birth sister in Pakistan for a while. A sister who is greedy and materialistic to the core. Soon she realizes that she does not belong here either and prays for a chance to go abroad. A bit too ambitious and an eternal optimistic, she does everything to give her children a better future. A chance encounter with a rich business man over Skype leads to a well-paying job in the beautiful country of Bahrain. She leaves Pakistan again, promising her crying children that she will send for them soon. Soon, she has a job she starts enjoying and a man she falls in love with. Little does she know that in a cursed life like hers, there is little hope of ‘living happily ever after’. Because, the so-called job is not really an honourable one. Because the man she falls in love with doesn’t believe in love himself. Because they are both used. By each other.
Sawera struggles to stay sane in this pitiful, abused life and is eventually able to fight her demons. Along the way, she learns some important lessons. Lessons of forgiveness and faith. Of repentance and mercy. About life and love.
In the end she gets reunited with her children, makes peace with her family, which has always betrayed her, and starts afresh. Over time, she is able to get over the traumas of her past and with a little help from her ex-lovers, finally achieves her dreams and becomes a successful businesswoman.
