Saransh has never known his father. His mother never spoke about him. Not about who he was, where he lived, or why he was no longer a part of their lives. Growing up, Saransh learned to live with the silence, even as the unanswered questions stayed with him. Until one day, he stumbles upon an address. For the first time, the man who has existed in Saransh's life only as a question has a name, a place—and a possibility.

Madhu's life takes an unexpected turn when she loses her job. Suddenly, the certainty she had built her adult life around disappears. And as she struggles with the uncertainty of what comes next, her mind begins to travel backwards—to a childhood she hasn't thought about in years, and to the little moments that quietly shaped the person she became. At the centre of those memories is Bansi Kaka.
