Dr. Maya Sharma, a passionate pediatrician, is busy fighting for her young patients, the children choking in a city that can barely breathe. For her, every wheezing child is a reminder of what's at stake. While saving the lives of young children and advocating for systemic policy changes for better air quality, she literally has no time for the arrogant engineer with half-baked ideas and a failing startup.
Raghav Mehta believes in finding real solutions rather than engaging in baseless protests and unwanted noise. A mechanical engineer by profession, he has left his high-paying job to develop innovative and affordable air filters capable of saving lives, only if someone believed in him, especially the fiery doctor who challenges him at every step.
When innovation collides with activism, Maya collides with Raghav. Amidst full-fledged arguments, sparks fly. Debates end in stolen glances and undeniable attraction, leaving them breathless!
As Delhi spirals into a smog emergency, their love becomes dangerous, yet necessary, just like the air they breathe in.
Can two people bound by a purpose, by desire and hope; together fight for a city gasping for breath without losing each other?
To know more, dive into the sizzling tale of Raghav and Dr. Maya, to enjoy their electric chemistry and fervent passion.
