Amrita Sen, 25, notorious Bengali mass killer and troubled by schizophrenia, depression, and suicidal thoughts, spent three years locked in an isolated ward at Ranchi's Central Institute of Psychiatry. Nandita Mishra, 35, her dedicated psychologist, was the only one who visited-watching, analyzing, and slowly falling for the very woman she was supposed to heal. When treatment fails and boundaries blur, Nandita takes the unthinkable step: she kidnaps Amrita, bringing her into her own home. Now, trapped yet cared for, fearful yet fascinated, Amrita and Nandita navigate a dangerous dance of desire, obsession, and power-where love and control collide, and freedom is never certain.
