As punishment, she is forced to work as a servant on the Khan family estate. As she navigates her new life, she sees that the Khan family will go to great lengths, even do some unlawful things, to protect their estate. Amal wants to set things right, which means challenging the Khan family, but that involves risking her family's safety and her freedom.
