ENVY is the powerful story of a woman who has finally had enough. Seniha spent her entire life on the margins of her own family — unloved by her status-obsessed mother and constantly overshadowed by her brilliant and charming brother Halit. While he becomes one of the country’s most successful attorneys and enjoys every privilege their wealth provides, Seniha is becoming an aging spinster, living like a servant in the very mansion where she was born. But when her brother’s secret relationship with a nightclub singer threatens the family’s reputation, Seniha finally seizes an opportunity by exposing her brother and arranging a respectable marriage for him with Nalan. In exchange, her mother agrees to give Seniha the inheritance she was long denied.
But just as the engagement is secured, Halit becomes infatuated with another woman, Mükerrem and breaks the arrangement. Humiliated and betrayed, the abandoned bride to be swears revenge — and Seniha suddenly finds herself facing a new enemy. Meanwhile, determined to carve out a life of her own, Seniha crosses paths with Nüzhet — a broken young musician whose life she saves by chance. Their quiet connection becomes the only source of kindness in Seniha’s life as Halit’s arrogance grows, and the family becomes even harsher toward her.
When Halit humiliates her in front of their guests and her mother reneges on their agreement, Seniha’s years of buried anger and jealousy finally boil over. Standing alone on the balcony of their mansion, convinced she has nothing left to live for, Seniha prepares to end it all. But in that final moment, fate intervenes — and instead of surrendering, something darker awakens inside her.
