Against the Sunset is a story of love, longing, and second chances, inspired by Savi and Rajat from Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin. Savi, fierce and independent, has learned to guard her heart after life's betrayals. Rajat, burdened by his past, knows he shouldn't want her-but he always does. They are drawn to each other like the ocean to the shore, crashing, retreating, and yet never staying apart. But when fate pulls them together, old wounds resurface, testing the fragile balance between love and pain. Will they fight against the past, or will they fade away like the sun on the horizon? Against the Sunset is a journey of emotions, heartbreak, and a love that refuses to be forgotten.

The next day, soldiers recapture the convict while he is engaged in a fight with another convict; the two are returned to the prison ships from which they escaped...
