Synopsis

SOMETIMES, A TURN DOESN’T LEAD YOU FORWARD—IT TRAPS YOU. It’s a story of waiting. A story of urgency. A story of finding oneself. And a story of taking that one wrong turn. On a rain-drenched highway, three strangers take shelter in a deserted Tea shop—each carrying a secret, each with something to lose. Ananya—sophisticated, uneasy, desperate for an escape. Aditya—quiet, reserved… but there’s something off about him. Then comes the thief—watching, waiting, calculating his next move. As the storm rages, tension thickens. Conversations don’t add up. Eyes linger too long. Footsteps echo in the dark. And with every passing minute, reality starts to fracture. By the time the rain stops, one terrifying truth will be revealed. They thought they were stranded together. But not everyone was meant to leave.
