The lives of Roshanaara and Jahanaara— two sisters, named after princesses— are anything but happy. Their sufferings take them on different, individual paths, while their love for each fails to hold their contrasting personalities together. Roshanaara— her obedience, sincerity and fading youth and Jahanaara— defiance, dependence and blossoming desires, are like day and night.   

Roshanaara, who is older takes responsibility of her then infant sister- upon their mother’s death- as well as of the poverty and the decaying household. Jahanaara, brought up lovingly but in harsh circumstances, dreams of a different world. However, her plans for a new life are foiled, when her sister escapes the claws of the fateful house in the darkness of the night. 

And thus, their story begins.
