Maya, a reserved history professor, has buried her painful past so deeply that no one can reach it. She has built a life of solitude, until Swadesh, an art professor with an unsettling knack for seeing through her, arrives at the university. Forced to work together on a research project, Maya begins to feel a growing tension between them. The more time they spend at the Ganga Ghats, the more her walls begin to crack. But just when she starts to let her guard down, a shocking secret emerges that could complicate everything she had tried to escape. With her world suddenly in turmoil, Maya must confront a truth that has long lurked in the shadows. In Banaras, where every memory leaves its imprint on temple bells, marigold garlands, kulhad chai, and agarbattis, will she find the strength to face what she’s kept hidden for so long?
