The story is narrated by Zainub (Humaima Malik), a death prisoner, who was granted her last wish to tell her story in a press gathering.
Her parents wishing for a son ended up with 5 daughters and a transgender. Hakim (Manzar Sehbai), her father and a herbal medicine doctor, wanted to kill the child but his wife did not let him. Saifi, disliked by his father, was home-schooled and became very skilled at sketching.
Zainub, after divorce, returned home where her mother kept getting pregnant. Zainub had tubal ligation done on her mother in the absence of her father to prevent future pregnancies. Hakim on finding out about the surgery was furious with Zainub.
With the time Zainub discovered Saifi's effeminateness, consulted Mustafa(Atif Aslam). He took Saifi to a guy who was in charge of drawings/paintings on trucks where Saifi was raped later on. A person of GLBTG helped Saifi to return home. Hakim, upon learning that his son was raped, choked him to death with a plastic bag, which was witnessed by Zainub.
The shemale reported the muder to the police. Hakim, in order to save himself, bribed the police with the money that was entrusted to him by the masjidcommittee.
After sometime Masjid committee asked Hakim to return the money. Having no other option, Hakim went to Saqa (Shafqat Cheema), his former patient and owner of a brothel, to pay him monthly for teaching the religion to his children. As the time was short, Hakim offered to mortgage his house for money but Saqa, not interested at all, proposed that Hakim should have a baby girl with his daughter Meena(Iman Ali) for money. Saqa would only keep the child if it were a girl. Hakim agreed on condition that Saqa would not disclose this pact. Hakim married Meena.
Meena gave birth to a baby girl but Hakim, not wanting Saqa to make the baby a prostitute, requested Meena to hand him the baby so he could save the baby. Saqa overhearing this kicked him out of his house.
One night, Meena came to Hakim's place to gave him her baby. On finding out the truth, Hakim and his wife quarrelled. Realizing about her father's 2nd wife, Zainub asked him to bring his 2nd wife home so they could all leave the city together before dawn. While all this was going on Saqa arrived with his men and broke into the house. Hakim, in order to keep Saqa from getting the baby, tried killing the baby but was killed by a fatal blow on head by Zainub. Zainub told Saqa that she killed her father because he killed the baby and disposed the body.
As the time was over, the media gathering ended and Zainub was hanged.
The movie ends showing Zainub's family struggling for their bread and butter starts a food service outside their house gradually turning the house into a cafe raising their living standard. They also take care of the their youngest sister who they saved from her father's brutality.
