Premise

Faathun (Fathimath Aflaz Faisal) and Ahmed (Raaidh) are two siblings who are poles apart in their negotiations. The former is the acquiescent and thoughtful child and the latter is more of a rebellious child who avoids studying. Receiving complaints from their neighbor, Raaid's mother (Sheela Najeeb) suspects he is dumping school though Faathun continuously covers up for him. Raaid frames his classmate Aabid for theft despite promising his family to rectify his behavior. The next morning Raaid wakes up, turned into a cat, much to the surprise of Faathun. Everyone in the island searches for him while Faathun takes care of the cat reluctant to disclose his identity.
