Abhaya is traditional and culturally rooted home maker of an orthodox Bengali family. She is an ardent devotee of Goddess Kali and is attached to the temple of the house. The evil inflicted on womankind pains Abhaya. Will she be able to realize her inner strength and fight the injustice to avenge the heinous crimes?

Abhaya’s childhood does not fill her thoughts with fond memories but reminds her of the gory visions where she saw her mother succumb to domestic violence.

One day, a sudden incident triggers those memories in Abhaya – will she answer her inner calling and become a force against the evil inflicted on womankind?

Her fearless spirit compels her to fight heinous crimes.
