Plot

Majid (Ahmed Nimal) receives the news of Arifa's (Aminath Shareef) sudden illness who has been diagnosed with a cardiovascular disease. He promptly visits her and she made him promise to hail their son, Najah, whose parenthood is being hidden to the world and has being forcibly relocated to another island two months back. Majid's wife, Sharmeela (Fauziyya Hassan) reluctantly agrees to welcome his son to their home although she announced her detestation. Najah, unable to survive criticism and verbal abuse from his mother-in-law agrees to go back to his island and stays at Guraidhoo Centre.

Years later, Najah (Yoosuf Shafeeu) was released from the Centre and Majid takes him back to his house. Majid and Sharmeela's son, Zaid (Mohamed Faisal) who is secretly in love with Reysham (Sheela Najeeb) struggles to express his feelings infront her. Reysham's younger sister, Shabee (Fathimath Fareela) has been continuously harassed by a gangster Bassan (Mohamed Shah Ali) who has been previously arrested by police, reported by Shabee, for involvement in drug dealing. One day, Najah stopped Bassan from tormenting Shabee on her way back home and she considers him a "hero". He is then introduced to the group and they start hanging out together. Najah finds a childhood photograph of Reysham and realizes that he is being in love with Reysham since childhood.

One night, when Najah was going to home, he was brutally attacked by the gang of Bassan. Sharmeela insisted to kick him out of the house fearing he will tarnish their reputation. Najah cleared all the misunderstandings but Sharmeela differs to comply. To settle things out, Majid reveals Najah's true identity infront of everyone and open heartedly welcomes him into his family. Zaid discloses his feeling toward Reysham to Najah and he decided to distance from Reysham. However, she starts liking Najah due to his helpful and caring attitude. Realizing this, Najah fakes a phone call and acts like he is happily married, hoping Reysham will forget him beyond as a friend. Heartbroken, Reysham storms off to home only to be revealed by Shabee that she is also attracted to Najah. Reysham instantly discloses his truth to Shabee saying that he is a married man. Worsening the situation, Zaid enters their house and proposes Reysham to marry him which she politely declines.

After several consultation, Reysham agrees to marry Zaid and she learns the truth about Najah's marital status afterwards. She confronts to Najah and questions about his intention of lying to her where Najah reveals his true feelings for her. One day when they were swimming at the beach, Bassan attacks Najah once again, this time stabbing him with a knife and murdering him. Post his funeral, Zaid locates a photograph of Reysham with a love quote in Najah's book, realizing Najah's sacrifices for Zaid and for the peace of the family. Before the end credits roll in, a visitor named Najah (Lufshan Shakeeb) is introduced who leaves a positive impact on Shabee.
