For five years a man has spent his life in isolation, food is slipped beneath the door and all he sees as they walk away is the dancing shadows of their feet. 

He is forgotten, left aside and never spoken of. That's just how he prefers it, he has nothing to live for after the light of his life was taken from him in mysterious circumstances that still haunt him to this very day. 

In all this time he hasn't uttered a word, many a therapist has tried to speak to him only to achieve nothing. Realising that his case could be a million dollar one, the head of the asylum Dr Rowlan has decided to send in the inexperienced intern to what some has classified as the Devil's lair. 

All she has to do is get him to talk and she will have a guranteed placement at the hospital of her dreams. But when lines become blurry and ethical standards are pushed to the side, Zoya Siddiqui can only hope to find out the mystery of the man who lives in the shadows and bring him to the light, before she too ends up drowned in the darkness that surrounds them both.

One may call him obsessive but he merely seeks what captured his heart with passion. The intelligent student is ambitious but innocent. Zoya Bedi lets her heart set the desire and then the brain chalks out a uniquely short-sighted plan to fulfill it which she embarks on immediately, throwing caution to the wind. These two strangely similar yet absolutely opposite personalities meet when Zoya opts to attend Aditya's class. Sparks fly almost immediately. During the time they are teacher and student, they dare not accept what they feel for each other but they do find unique ways to let each other know of their own desires. 4 years back they left it unrequited, trusting time and destiny to wash it away, but as time progressed, life threw them situations to come forward and work together.

It explores the lives of Jasper Quinn and Luna Hemmet as they strive to set things straight in their lives. They embark on an adventurous journey to discover themselves. Can they say no to their pending marriage? A sneak peak : Luna's lips brush against Jasper's, a soft, gentle touch that sends shivers down his spine. It's a subconscious decision, one that surprises even herself. But as their lips meet, she knows it's right. Jasper's eyes flutter closed, his hands rising to cradle her face. He deepens the kiss, his lips moving in perfect sync with hers. Luna feels herself melting into him, their hearts beating as one. The world around them fades away, leaving only the two of them, lost in the passion of their kiss. It's like nothing Luna has ever experienced before. As they break apart for air, Jasper's eyes lock onto hers, his gaze burning with desire. "Luna," he whispers, his voice husky with emotion. Luna's heart skips a beat. She knows she's crossed a line, but she can't help herself. She's drawn to Jasper like a gentle soul drawn to the comforting solace of a wild and crackling fire. "Jasper," she whispers back, her voice barely audible. Jasper's eyes flash with triumph, then burn with desire. He pulls her in again, their lips meeting in a kiss that leaves them both breathless. He draws back his gaze lingering over her shoulder into darkness where he spots a figure. A very familiar figure- the Queen. They are in for a surprise....
