Mary had run across a mysterious charismatic stranger (Jayan) several times and there's a powerful magnetic attraction between them which she did not previously pursue as she had been in love with her fiance. However at a vulnerable moment he rescues her and rapes her. Mary finds herself not only forgiving him but also falling in love with him as the two embark on an affair. However he's too damaged and cynical due to an abusive childhood and youth and spurns her love while craving it all the same. Their relationship is built on a powerful attraction and loneliness of two otherwise strong people who will not show their tender sides to the world.They fall into a toxic relationship taunting each other all the time -her about his lack of love and him about the temporary nature of the affair and her place in his life.
