Synopsis:
When five-year-old Babbal was kidnapped from- just outside his school, the entire school was shaken. But just as suddenly as he vanished, he reappeared- left outside his home by unknown hands, bruised, broken, and silent.
Sixteen years later, Babbal is a young man still haunted by the shadows of that mysterious incident. Isolated and living with severe PTSD, he barely resembles the child he once was.
That is- until she returns.
His childhood best friend, Iccha, who once made a pinky promise to never leave him, comes back- only to discover the horrific truth of what happened after she left. Determined to help him reclaim the light he lost, she pushes through his walls of fear and silence, refusing to give up.
But the closer she gets, the more she uncovers. The kidnapping wasn't random. The trauma wasn't over. And Babbal is still hiding something- something so dark and deeply buried, it could destroy more than just him.
What is Babbal protecting?
And more importantly... who?
