Forced into a marriage she never desired, Donya finds herself caught in the middle of a complex web of family politics and traditions. The weight of her circumstances hangs heavily on her fragile shoulders.

Donya's world is shattered when she receives devastating news that her husband, Hedayat, has met with a tragic accident. The bearer of this heart-wrenching news is none other than Katayoun, her co-wife and a woman filled with resentment and anger.

As Donya grapples with the shock and grief of her husband's sudden demise, she is confronted by Katayoun's bitter accusations. Blaming Donya for all the misfortunes that have befallen their shared life, Katayoun sees her as the sinister force responsible for their troubles. In Katayoun's eyes, Donya's mere presence has brought nothing but negativity and sorrow.
