The drama about a love triangle and unrequited love, tells a story of a young woman named Laila (Sharifah Sakinah) who falls in love with Ezlan (Adi Putra) but is devastated when he decides to marry Raihani (Nadia Brian). Heartbroken, she leaves their hometown only to return years later with a new determination to win Ezlan’s back. Laila’s pursuit is relentless, one that is rooted in destroying a happy home with the help of black magic. The story’s theme of using black magic in the name of love is not merely fictional as it is widely known that it is used in our society.
Aside from Sharifah Sakinah, who has been away from the limelight since 2019, the drama also welcomes back Lana Nordin (who plays Embun) from her four-year acting hiatus along with Nadia Brian.
