Kolkata, 2024. Beneath the surface of the bustling city, ancient secrets stir as the powerful Roy Choudhury family reigns over business and politics. But when an old overlooked case shakes the city, four individuals are drawn back to the very place where a forgotten story began centuries ago.

Shravani Bagchi, a fiercely ambitious criminal lawyer, has fought her way into Kolkata's elite legal circles. Her ruthless pursuit of justice is tempered by a moral code only she seems to understand. She will do whatever it takes to win her cases, but the resurfacing of long-suppressed memories starts to rattle her resolve. 

Satyadev Mitra, a driven ASP of Kolkata Police, has a reputation for inviting trouble wherever he goes because of his unfiltered vocal disdain for higher-ups who abuse their authority. But he is haunted by recurring dreams, waking each time with a sense of unbearable sorrow.  As his path crosses with Shravani's again and again, these visions become more vivid, pushing him closer to a truth he cannot yet grasp.

Maithili Sen, a brilliant archaeologist, is obsessed with uncovering ancient India's lost secrets. Her latest project takes her to Taragarh, where she encounters Krishnendu Das, a newbie journalist whose lighthearted charm falters whenever Maithili is near, bringing uncharacteristic tears to his eyes.

What begins as a mass dissappearance case unravels a web of secrets tied to an ancient battle that changed the course of history. The temple of Taragarh closed for more than three centuries, holds the key to these mysteries-both old and new. And as the city's most powerful family watches from the shadows, the danger grows ever closer.

The past and present collide as four lives converge on a path shaped by forces beyond their control. Will they uncover the truth in time, or are they destined to repeat the tragedies of a forgotten era?
