Laila is a Syrian victim of a bombing who agrees to marry a powerful sheikh in exchange for money to save her little brother's life. However, plans change due to the tragic death of the child. Laila and her family flee to start a new life in distant lands. Abandoned and enraged, the sheikh sends Jamil, his right-hand man, in search of the bride, but could not imagine he would fail to obey his command and fall madly in love with her. This forbidden love will be tested when the sheikh's daughter decides to take revenge after her father's mysterious death.
