In the wake of a tragedy that shattered her world, Anupama Kaul lives with a quiet, lingering sorrow that colors every corner of her life. The loss of her sister in the September 11 attacks left an indelible scar, shaping a landscape where memories hover like shadows and the present feels perpetually out of reach. The film settles in contemporary India, a setting that balances everyday bustle with an undercurrent of personal unease, allowing the audience to feel the weight of grief that clings to Anupama’s thoughts and surroundings.

Against this backdrop, Anupama’s future seems momentarily steadied by her engagement to Arpit Oberoi, a man whose affection appears steady and conventional. Their relationship offers a glimpse of normalcy—plans, promises, and a shared vision of a life together—yet the distance created by Arpit’s work abroad awakens a void that is both physical and emotional. It is in this gap that a new presence emerges.

Enter Aman, a charismatic stranger whose confidence and compassion seem to pierce the fog of Anupama’s sorrow. His mysterious aura and apparent understanding of her pain draw her in, presenting a contrast to the familiar steadiness of her fiancé. Their growing connection hints at a delicate, unspoken tension, as Anupama finds herself pulled between the security of the known and the allure of the unknown. The film’s tone remains taut and introspective, weaving a psychological thread that questions what is real and what is imagined.

Surrounding this central triangle is a cast of friends, family, and professionals whose concern adds layers to Anupama’s struggle. Subtle moments of care and counsel suggest that her inner world is as fragile as it is resilient, setting the stage for a story that lingers between love, loss, and the elusive search for truth.
