At its core, Scorned is a psychological thriller that explores the classic "hell hath no fury" trope with a modern, gritty twist. The narrative revolves around Riya (played by a rising Nuefliks regular), a successful interior designer who discovers her husband, Kabir, is having an affair with her ambitious best friend, Mira.
