Then things begin to go disastrously wrong - slowly and steadily. Preeti's seemingly normal life is thrown off gear - with a series of incidents that take her by surprise. Is it just coincidence or is someone deliberately causing all the trouble? Is Neha really as simple as she seems? In the grip of mystery, unforeseen and gruesome events and murder as its heinous best, the truth seems shocking as it unfolds. As Neha and Preeti are torn apart by suspicion, deceit and betrayal, the question is - what is really going on?
