Bhavya Bhanushali, a brilliant archaeologist in Rome, is offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work with her idol. There's just one problem: the job is in India, the country where her parents tragically lost their lives. Despite her past, Bhavya can't let the chance slip away.

Even though the memories of her parents' death still haunt her, Bhavya knows she must go. But what she doesn't know is that her journey will lead her into deep, scary secrets, mysteries, and a past she never expected.

As she digs into the old stories of her hometown, she uncovers truths that have been hidden for years. But some secrets are better left untouched. Bhavya's search for answers might uncover more than she can handle.

Raghav : "Look at her bosom, and then look at yours. You want me to get lured by it, but for me a woman's breast signifies motherhood.

That's why my mother Kali has huge breasts, because she feeds the entire universe with prosperity, abundance, grains and happiness."

I worship Her womanhood, and I see her in every woman. No matter how many men have fucked you till now, but I see you as a Goddess. And you are my father's wife, my mother's soul will cry in heaven, if I get seduced by you today."
