Ekansh Jaisingh, the owner of a popular Indian restaurant chain in Paris is an extremely dauntless person who leads a carefree lifestyle enjoying his status as a celebrity chef. Unknown to many people is his identity as the illegitimate son of Eshwar Diwan, the owner of Terence Group. 

Ever since his mother's death, he has vowed to never cross paths with him. But an unexpected phone call, from Madhav Gaikwad, a corporate lawyer, compels him to make the fateful decision to return and soon his life is sent into a tailspin - along with the fortunes of the Terence Group.

Adrija Pradhan, a hardworking employee of Terence is definitely not the type of girl who stands out in a crowd. Unassuming and quiet, with a timid nature, she has nothing exciting or unusual in her life. Her only solace is her friendly senior, Shritama Reddy who is often annoyed with Adrija's inherent inability to stand up for herself, even at times when she is undeniably right. Due to this Adrija frequently gets tagged as a pushover who can never change.

But isn't change the only constant of the universe? 

Due to an accident unintentionally caused by Ekansh, Adrija ends up with a horrible case of amnesia. Plagued by guilt, Ekansh finds himself being slowly drawn into Adrija's life. There's just one problem. With no memories of her past and finding an old video camera in her possession, Adrija starts believing that she is a psychopathic killer who has recorded all those videos stored in the camera. 

As the days pass by, Adrija begins to make some serious noticeable personality changes, but can such a scaredy-cat become a cold-blooded murderer? And what about the actual killer? Will her memory loss help her in becoming the best version of herself? Or will she turn into the worst possible one?

Together the duo build an unlikely alliance and embark on a dangerous quest accompanied by their allies, locking horns with the powerful Diwan family.
