Taking it upon themselves to go through all the trials and tribulations that constitute the forging of an army officer, we see how they are transformed from soft rose-petal-like shy timid girls to Women of Steel Sinf-e-Aahan as the name suggests by going through the same rigours and furnaces as their male counterparts in order to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with men in the service of their nation.
Fourth, Rabia Safeer, an upper middle class pampered girl who aspires to do something else with her life apart from baking and entertaining guests, some of whom come for her hand in marriage, Fifth, Shaista Khanzada a Patthan from Waziristan who is an artist.
She joins the army to run away from home (especially from the grasp of her Hitler-like grandmother), but her fiancé cousin, Kaamil who has a soft corner for her, is always protective of her.
Sixth, Syeda Sidra Batool, the comic member of the group who seemingly joins the Army to ‘Have a Good Time.’ The first 5 episodes open the canvas to show how each of these girls break the chains of normal ‘girl life’ and go through the rigours of the Pakistan Armed Forces selection process and meet first time at their nearest Inter-Services Selection Board Testing Centre.
At the end of the 5 days at the ISSB selection centre, our six main characters receive their appointment letters and, due to them all being post grads in their respective field of study, they are inducted directly at the rank of Captain.
To settle this, the Commandant consoles Jamal and meets the landlord to congratulate him on giving permission for Pariwesh to join Pakistan Army.
Our attention turns to a new cast member who joins to head the battalion command of the ladies wing at PMA - SSG Commando, Major Usama, and his wife, Kiran and their daughter.
As Nathmy arrives in Pakistan, she receives a warm welcome by the representatives of Pak Army who are to escort her from Islamabad International Airport to PMA Kakul, Abbottabad.
The mere thought of being tied down by rules immediately ignites an inner hostility against PMA's system, and she vows to run away the moment any pressure of compliance is placed upon her.
When the lady Cadets (LCs) enter the company lines, their luggage is checked and all useless stuff is instructed to be sent back home.
For issues ranging from attitude, agility, stamina, mental tuning, motivation and overall military bearing, they had a long road ahead of them.
At the early morning PT drill and 'fall-in', the girls are introduced to a literal meaning and paraphrase of each couplet in the Pakistan National Anthem to make their sense of commitment to their country even stronger.
We are made to witness the beginning of the many rigours that these ‘rose petal- like’ flimsy girls would require in order to turn them into ‘Women of Steel’.
Major Usama watches the girls going through their drills and as they grunt, whimper and moan during which his mind wanders back to his own days along with Taimur.
As Usama watches the LCs during their drill again, and he thinks back to all the goof-ups he and Taimur used to be involved in, and that he too found the training at PMA unbearable at times.
As the LCs are at the shooting range, Nathmy holding her rifle thinks back to when her father returned from PMA and taught her how to fire a pistol.
As Pariwesh goes home, she and Jamal see the landlord awaiting his son, only to find out that GC Subuk has failed his marching and saluting test.
Shaista is picked up by her cousin and fiancé Kaamil to whom she requests to release her from her engagement commitment in return for the love he has for her, so that she can concentrate wholeheartedly on her Army career.
As Usama, Kiran and their daughter go for a walk, she thinks about Taimur and how she wanted to be the wife of a commando to live in the most posh of Army neighbourhoods.
We are told that since a very long time Rabia had in her mind Mahjabeen (who was her best friend since childhood) as a perfect life partner for her elder brother - SSG Commando Capt.
So Mahjabeen in revenge made up a phoney story that Rabia was under medical treatment for ‘Bi-polar Disorder’ and she is not suitable for her cousin Capt.
She is on the verge of being dismissed from PMA (as this is her third and final warning) just when Rabia finds the missing piece of Mahjabeen's rifle, consequently saving her career.
There Major Usama catches Naurez by the scruff of the neck and warns him against harassing Arzoo and her family or else be ready to face a prison sentence for attempted assault and mental torture.
When the LCs return home after the rifle shooting contest, the village landlord visits Jamal's house to meet Pariwesh.
During this time, as a surprise from Maj. Usama and Maj. Samia, she is visited in hospital by the one person she has been wanting to meet for more than ten years – her father's wartime comrade, Col. Mujahid Saleem.
Then during the tea-time get-together in the common room as the TV is on, a news reel pops up in which there is information of military unrest in Waziristan and Rabia's brother SSG Commando Captain Daniyal is very badly wounded in action.
Shaista returns home to see that her fiancé Kaamil has opened a girls school in her name; Pariwesh gets a lavish welcome by her Tribal leader and landlord and witnesses her rifle-shooting and marksmanship skills first hand in front of the entire clan.
Mahjabeen arrives home to a lavish aristocratic party as she walks in wearing her all-black Pakistan Army Ceremonial Attire.
Lastly, Nathmy Pereira is seen off at Islamabad Airport to go home to Sri Lanka by the family of her dear ‘Uncle’ Col. Mujahid Saleem.
Time has flown past a further one year and now we see Kiran walking the grounds of PMA residential areas with an 8 or 9 year-old girl and wheeling a pram carrying new born ‘Taimur’.
