A simple plot holding an immense thought.
Two strangers, both deemed mentally unstable, meet by chance.
Sonal, formerly a sociology professor and firebrand activist, is battling memory loss and acute depression. Abhay, a once-celebrated genetic engineer, is a paranoid fugitive hiding from an establishment whose scientific paradigm he once challenged. They forge a bond without ever asking each other’s name.
Meanwhile in the background, the world is experiencing a catabolic collapse of every kind. Who is causing this collapse? The resounding answer around the world is ‘humans are causing it!’.
But through the quirky relationship and actions of the odd duo, we realise that the world is wrong. They have the correct answer that no one wants to hear. Their answer will most likely surprise and shock you. And it will dawn on you that they were not insane at all, but the rest of the world perhaps is.
Together, they plan to take their revelation to the world before it’s too late. But, as always, Reality has other plans…
