In a near-future Kolkata ravaged by extreme climate events and food scarcity, a woman's plans to join her husband in America are derailed when her family's immigration documents are stolen. The narrative alternates between the woman's frantic search and the perspective of the thief, exploring the moral compromises made in the name of family survival. This speculative thriller examines the collision of class, desperation, and hope in a city on the brink of collapse.
