Between the relentless family drama and the emotional tirades that accompanied it, her house felt less like home and more like a live set of a daytime soap opera. Krithika is weary at 21. Mentally.

Can she stand her ground when old wounds resurface, and long-dormant secrets spill into the open? Or will she be torn between the people she cares about and the truth she never expected?
