Yet when fate casts her into a blighted spell of loneliness, the protagonist finds herself being sucked into a into a web of paranormal contemplations . She gets mentally weaker as fear eats her up from within. She is gradually driven to the edge of sanity . Her mind might even have been permanently damaged had she not experienced the coming alive  of her psychogenic terror right before her eyes. The shock of her worst nightmare becoming a reality is counterpointed by the shattering of that dreadful manifestation when fate again spins around to show its cognitive face , exorcising her demons and arresting her complete collapse.

When Maya and her family decided to return to her ancestral home, she thought that they would finally get the life they wanted. But who knew what she would find there and that her past would literally come to haunt her.
