After seven years of silence, Dhara returns to the house she once called home -
where her absence was never noticed, and her presence is now an inconvenience.
But buried memories don't stay buried forever...
especially when the past she tried to escape is waiting on the other side of the door.
A story of broken bonds, forgotten love, and the kind of pain that never really leaves.
