Sanskriti steps foot in Mumbai after a decade. The city reminds her of her past, a time marked by rebellion, fights, manipulation, anguish, tears, pain and the final liberation. Sanskriti believes that she has moved on, moved on from them and everything they did to her. However, when she drives past the Marine Drive, all those memories strike her with full force. Suddenly, she feels eighteen again, the resentment at her hero for letting her down being the strongest of all the emotions. Advik Chauhan was her elder brother, her idol, her confidante, her guide, her everything until one day he wasn't. This trip makes her question herself. Has she truly broken free from the clutches of her past? Moreover, is she ready to face her brother again?

Problems are like beams of light. Majority of them get absorbed. Some get reflected and passed on to others while some get refracted and are tweaked a little before being passed on to others. The problems that dominate our lives are the ones that perform the opposite of Total Internal Reflection - Total Absorption. Naina Singhania believes that she has the most uneventful life ever. The people she is surrounded with-not so much. Her associates make up for the lack of spice in her life or so she thought. What she doesn't realise is the drama she talks about isn't in third person. Somebody else might be bearing the brunt of it, but Naina always gets a share. Share by share, her experiences are defined. Experiences that are centred around her, that cater to her but in somebody else's background. The problems and struggles that are solely hers are stashed away in the farthest corner of her mind. Who wants to relive the non-good memories of their own lives! Naina focuses on being the perfect second character. Long conversations with friends do not include the sleepless nights to crack her college, the financial instability that subtly influenced her growing years or her impressive multi-tasking skills. They highlight other topics like her ex-crush and ex-bestfriend's relationship or her dance partner's injury one day before their show. Read on to see how Naina's life is inadvertently impacted by the chaos she is surrounded by. Afterall, her life is full of reflections and refractions.
