Avantika is a teacher in a university in Delhi. She has come back from New
York where she teaches, because her father has suffered a heart attack. During
this period, she meets a temporary Professor called Ehsaan Khan. Soon they begin
seeing each other and love blossoms. A few months later, Avantika receives a
call from her university in New York, asking her to come back for the Fall
Semister. Avantika breaks the news to Ehsaan. He in turn, tells her he doesn’t
mind coming to the States with her, to find a job. But first they need to get
married. Soon after the marriage, they leave to start a new life in New York.
They buy a house in an Indian neighbourhood and move in. Just as they are
setting up home, their conservative Muslim neighbours, Hamid and Anjum, invite
them over for dinner. The next morning, Salma, one of the women Avantika met the
night before at the dinner, visits her under the pretext of gifting her sweets.
When Avantika invites her in, Salma tells her that she is in grave danger.
Nothing is what it seems. Salma pleads with Avantika to help her. What follows
next, is a series of incidents that sucks Avantika into a vortex of danger and
intrigue. As her life spirals out of control, Avantika realizes that she is a
pawn in a huge game. And no one is to be trusted. |
