==Premises==
===''Hayaaiy''===
Solah (Mohamed Samah), a taxi driver, a divorced man and a father of seven years old child, is asked by her mother, Zahira ([[Aminath Rasheedha]]) to look after his grumpy, handicapped father, Nashidh (Ali Farooq) to which he reluctantly agrees. He is groomed by his uncle, Rasheed ([[Mohamed Rasheed (actor)|Mohamed Rasheed]]) and has a hard time adjusting and digesting his father's brutal words while trying to sort things with his ex-wife, Muna ([[Aishath Rishmy]]) and their son, Suleiman (Mohamed Ethan Jumaih). Soon after, Solah realizes that he is becoming a mirror-reflection of Nashidh, his most disliked person.

===''Ruqyah''===
Adhila ([[Aishath Rishmy]]), a young woman having a troubled relationship with her younger sister, Zeena ([[Mariyam Azza]]), starts having sleeping disorder and her husband, Easa ([[Ahmed Easa]]) brings home Usman (Ahmed Sharif) to perform [[Exorcism in Islam|ruqyah]]. Soon after, when Zeena suspects that Usman and Easa is torturing her sister while confined to a room under the premise of ruqyah, Usman manipulates Easa and the sisters into believing that they are possessed by evil jinn. The women were sexually, physically and psychologically abused in the name of punishing the jinn, which included beatings, being treated as a slave, being denied an adequate amount of food and sleep deprivation.

===''Fulhi''===
Reesha ([[Nashidha Mohamed]]), a married woman, separated from her husband, Zaidh ([[Ahmed Easa]]) who is desperately trying to get back with her. One night, she is greeted by a "glass bottle" at her doorstep which then becomes a routine attachment of her during night time, appearing at her house and following her from work to home, to the point she becomes mentally disturbed. Scared of the recent events, Reesha reconciles with Zaidh and goes back to his house, much to the disappointment of Wadde (Mohamed Waheed), the sorcerer behind the evilness.

===''Naama''===
A middle-aged man ([[Ali Seezan]]) receives a flash drive which has a video recording of a young man (Mohamed Ishfan) narrating a strange incident he experienced, where he gets accompanied by a random woman (Ansham Mohamed) he met one late night on the beach of Hulhumale'. The video ends when the harassed individual is killed by the woman when he intends to use spell against her with the help of his brother ([[Ahmed Easa]]). As soon as the viewer played the video, he finds himself entrapped in the young man's vision.
