Synopsis
When her quiet, timid fiancé, Jimmy Nautiyal, gets implicated as the prime suspect in the murder of his uncle, Charulata ‘Charlie’ Chopra rushes to his aid. Upon arriving at his family home in Solang Valley, Charlie uncovers the strange circumstances of the murder and soon starts unravelling the stories of this peaceful little town - long buried family secrets, runaway fugitives, friendship, betrayal, love, and greed.
