Self-absorbed college student Bryden Stalling believes he's the most popular person at his school. Handsome, flirty, charming... and the campus player who has dated far too many girls. In reality, however, no one can stand him---and everyone hates his guts. After his girlfriend dumps him, he finds an ancient Chinese ring on the sidewalk that holds a genie inside! Bryden is excited at first, eager to use his three wishes. However, the genie refuses to grant him any wishes! He claims that Bryden is too selfish and narcissistic, and must earn his wishes. And in order to earn his wishes, he must change his ways. Frustrated, Bryden begrudgingly tries to become a better person in order for the genie to grant him his three wishes. As the pair spends more time together, the genie lets his guard down and opens up about his dark past. Meanwhile, other forces are looking for Bryden's ring... and they may be connected to the genie's past.

Chhaya-Varchas Radiance of Shadows Thousands of years ago, during the fierce war between the Devas and the Asuras, a divine weapon known as Chhaya-Varchas was lost to Earth - and with time, forgotten by all. Until now. In the age of Kaliyug, whispers of its existence reach the ears of a powerful Asura. Bound by cosmic law, he cannot descend to Earth himself - but his dark will is carried out by the Pishachas, shadowy spirits of the night. The weapon can only be awakened through a ritual soaked in human blood - a sacrificial offering that will shatter the last barrier between darkness and domination. But what the Asura doesn't know is that Chhaya-Varchas chooses its own warrior. And it never chooses lightly.

She is wild, bold and untamed. She goes by rules. You defy the rules and she would have the better of you. You can call her anything but dare not call her the 'RAKSHASI'. She is 'Kalika'. Her name is supposed to mean a 'beautiful flower' but she is nicknamed 'Kaali' owing to her ferocious demeanor. You show her a finger she would shoot a fist at you.... You prod her gently and she would rattle you till the last bone... She leads a disciplined life. She cannot tolerate even a speck of dust around her. A paradox of purity and fury.... she is both goddess and demon - and your fate depends on which side you awaken. Walk straight, and she might let you live... Stray once, and she will break you.... Beneath the mask of impeccable strength lies a girl scarred by trauma, haunted by insecurities, and carrying a quiet vulnerability she dares not reveal. Kaali needs her Bhairava - a force strong enough to balance the wild feminine storm within her. She needs her Yang to ground the chaos of her Yin. But does such a man exist - one daring enough to bell the goddess in disguise?
