A dark, melancholic exploration of self-destruction and redemption through addiction and fractured love, balancing tragedy with moments of dark humor and emotional intensity.

Dev, after spurning his childhood love Paro due to a misunderstanding, turns to drugs and alcohol for solace. Paro moves on but Dev remains in remorse. He then meets Chanda, an escort navigating her own past trauma, but Dev’s chauvinistic attitude and penchant for self-destruction stands in the way of their developing bond.
