There are millions of victims of sexual assault worldwide. In India, a women is reportedly raped every 15 minutes.

Unfortunately, the majority of rapes are unreported. Some rapes are kept under the wraps of a society, some hidden inside the walls of a home while some within the girl's body alone. The latter was the case for Aashriya.

She did not know what had happened to her when it happened. She did not know who to tell when she saw her father grieving over his wife's death. But her life had changed completely from that moment.

Years later, Aashriya has graduated and started working. In her father's eyes, she seems perfectly normal. According to others, she seems normal but acts weird at times.

Circumstances bring Akshit into Aashriya's life. He knows something is wrong and he should heed her advice to leave her alone. But before he can stop himself, he realizes he has fallen for her.

Will Aashriya ever feel the touch of love in her heart? Or will she wipe the smile off Akshit's face forever?
