==Premise==<br />
Set in urban Indian state West Bengal's capital city of Kolkata, an orphaned girl Ganga is embodied into finding her parents and her roots while coping up with her present situations. What starts out as a search for the past begins digging up more sinister fragments of mysticism, psychology and cryptography. Battling the unanswered questions, Ganga is sworn to find the truth of her ordeal and events leading to her mystery, which might also reveal several webs of connections en route.<br />
