Sadiq is a man with a dark past and darker humor. When complexities bring a whirlpool of love that can't be tamed into his life, fate vows to pull them apart. Can they stand strong against the tides of destiny and sins of the past?

"If everything is preordained, then aren't the choices we make daily just setting the stones into the grand stage of our fated destinies? Is free will not part of an already written script that we unknowingly act out even in our rebellion?"

Underneath all, this is a story of two women, unconnected yet related. Birthed in the same society, while facing different realities, they struggle to balance ugly truths and well-intentioned sins. When it all comes crashing down, leading to loss of self and identity crises, truths they fought so hard to hide become revealed. Can they recognize themselves now that the masks are off?
