Beautiful and enigmatic Tara Rana finds herself in Delhi after a series of strange circumstances. Here, she finds one of the largest escort services in India. Moti Maya leaves her husband and two-year-old Sumi to help guerrilla trainers in the Gorubathan forests during the height of the Gorkhaland movement. This is the story of how some quests remain unfulfilled, and how time moulds people in ways which are both unpredictable and terrifying.
