Kamal Mehra, a self-made billionaire in Delhi, presides over AyKa, a company teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, and he navigates a fraught web of family tensions. His wife Neelam Mehra bears the strain of a marriage marked by distrust and past infidelities, while their children—Ayesha Mehra and Kabir Mehra—carry their own dreams, disappointments, and loyalties. Ayesha runs a thriving travel business in Mumbai, yet her happiness within her marriage to Manav Sangha remains painfully unsettled, and Kabir dreams of piloting planes rather than steering the family fortune.
