Nawal is a recently widowed. She has to save her daughter and home following her husband's death in a society where having a son is a game changer.

When Jordanian housewife Nawall wakes up to find her husband lying dead beside her, her troubles have only just begun. Bereaved and bewildered, she finds she is under attack from her brother-in-law who is claiming half her home, custody of her daughter and immediate payment of debts her husband left behind that she didn't know existed. Her only hope is that her husband has left her pregnant - and with a boy, who will be entitled to inherit their home. Nawall is no rebel, but she will put up a desperate fight for the right to live a normal life.
