Avanti and Dhairya haven’t had perfect lives. She’s waited tables, sold newspapers, and cleaned houses to get by, with no parental shield over her. He’s worked at a bakery to earn enough money to keep away from his troubled family.

When the two meet, they find comfort in each other’s company, forgetting that they’re trapped in a vicious cycle that society has created for people like them.

Then, the two have a baby. But what they had hoped would be a beam of light soon turns into the darkest days of their lives.

Cracks emerge in their relationship as soon as the realities of their world creep up on them. Avanti has secrets of her own, while Dhairya brews newfound trouble. She’s passionate and possessive, while he’s adamant and obsessive. When conflicts emerge, the person most affected is their baby.

But Avanti won’t let Dhairya’s changed behaviour jeopardize her child’s future.

How far will she go to protect her baby? And how much is she willing to lose?
