The scene is set for a casual evening between a group of friends. With Sameera and Madhu readying their house for what is to follow, Akash soon arrives, along with the news that their fourth friend would be late. While waiting for him and discussing his tendency to never be punctual, they start a conversation about a relationship he once had with a teacher of theirs in school. <br><br>

After the setting has been established, the narrative attempts a conversation around the ideas of right and wrong, consent in relationships, and the power dynamics that operate within them. With the arrival of the fourth friend, however, enters a plot point that deliberately subverts the expectations conjured so far, allowing the writing to offer its final flourish. Though the voice is young, and the themes at hand slightly under-explored, it prepares the groundwork for a thought that should definitely be engaged with at a deeper level in more projects to come.
