A tense, intellectually demanding examination of patriarchy and misogyny within a theatre group as a crime allegation fractures trust and exposes complicity.

After a party amongst a theatre group, their sole actress, Anjali is subjected to a crime from one of the men in the group. A meeting is called for. In trying to reach a consensus, stories unravel, suspicions surface and clamour ensues.
