Siva is the adopted son of a village elder. When the villagers choose Siva to lead the local council, it angers the elder's son-in-law. This anger grows worse when Siva shelters a woman and her baby, making everyone, even his own lover, wrongly suspect him.
“A village's trust, a stranger's secret, and a love put to the test.”
