Some promises are made for a lifetime. Others are made before you're even born. After six years abroad, Maya returns home ready to chase the future she spent years building. Instead, she discovers a marriage waiting for her-a marriage decided long ago by two families and a promise neither she nor Manav ever agreed to. But while Maya dreams of freedom, Manav is still haunted by a past he can't let go of. As old secrets begin to surface and forgotten ties pull them together, they find themselves trapped between duty and choice, gratitude and desire, past and future. The question is no longer whether they will get married. It's whether they ever should have been. They were only almost married.
