Gritty coming of age story with a dark mystery.

In a small sleepy town in the 1970s, the lives of four young girls are forever changed when the unthinkable happens. Timid, gentle Meena has vanished on the road home from school, during a game the four friends played together. This gritty coming-of-age story deals with the dark mystery behind the disappearance.

The remaining three girls struggle to come to terms with the tragedy, while wrestling with issues of guilt, identity, hypocrisy, and the bittersweet nature of first love. Confident, self-centred Rajni, her life set out clearly by her mother’s ambitions, finds her world starting to unravel around her. Angry, distant Mala, set apart from the others by her
intelligence and blunt perception of the world, discovers a shocking family secret. Feisty Arthi, hemmed in by her conservative family and upbringing, begins to develop insights into the injustices and prejudices of tradition.
