The story is set in Hyderabad and begins with the village's head, Murtasim Shahnawaz Khan (Wahaj Ali) on a stroll in the fields to discern the progress of the crops when one of the farmers mournfully informs him of the threats they are agonised with and enlightens him of the rising menace to their fields imposed by a cutthroat rival in the village named, Malik Mukhtar (Mehmood Aslam) and his vile son, Malik Zubair (Agha Mustafa Hassan). Being the village's premier, Murtasim heeds the whole situation and it quite incenses him. He's known to be responsible as well as ruthless when it comes to protecting and ensuring his people's safety. When Malik tries to create problems over a mere land that he desires which is owned by Murtasim, it's the cue for Murtasim to assert his true dominance. Hence, to instill terror and warn his foes of further barbarity against his people and meddling in the village's peace, Murtasim barges into Malik's mansion and threatens to kill his son —thus fueling the red-hot rivalry further.
On the other hand, Meerab Waqas Ahmad (Yumna Zaidi), Meerab Anwar Khan by birth, is her father's princess who is a renowned lawyer in Karachi. She's an ambitious and beautiful young girl who wants to pursue higher studies and aspires to become a rightful lawyer like her father, Waqas (Farhan Ally Agha). It's shown that her entire world revolves around her parents and she believes in them the most. Her strong and confident personality makes her stand against social injustices around her, and she never stays back to voice her debate over the disservices of society over innocents.
In Hyderabad, Murtasim's mother, Salma Begum (Bushra Ansari), is considered the “Khaanum” and is respected among the whole village. Being extremely venerated with her regal aura that graces the grand mansion of the Khans, she's customed to heed the problems and sufferings of the people calmly and unriddle suitable solutions for their miseries. It is also shown that Murtasim has a younger cousin, Haya (Sabeena Farooq), Murtasim's late paternal aunt's daughter, who is deeply in love with him to the extent of an unhealthy obsession as she earnestly dreams to marry him. She roams like a delusional lover in his room and touches his walled pictures, claiming that she's the one who would own him in the end no matter how much he runs away from her and dismisses her advances. It turns out that Murtasim's half-aware of the madly fascinated upswings of Haya regarding him, but he deems her as his younger sister and continues to refuse her in every way.
