What happens when you are alone at home with no other source of help available and a supernatural being begins to make their presence felt? The short film is an engagement with the same disturbing question as it shows the experiences of a woman one night. There are shadows and noises outside her room that she cannot explain to herself. While she may have locked herself inside, is she truly safe?

The story is set in a village where Saaru, a school-girl, runs into a strange peer one day. The two immediately strike a friendship. Saaru even begins to skip school to meet Aditi who, on the other hand, is quite evasive about letting the former into her life. As doubt begins to form in the viewer’s head, the plot starts its movement towards the final reveal. <br><br>

At the same time, the village is plagued by frequent tiger attacks. The beast has the people in its clutches, their livestock and safety completely at its mercy. The two narratives soon overlap, and the story reaches completion. Though the plot loses points in execution, the desire to weave a story remains evident.
