Nikita, a feisty girl from Florence, meets an ascetic in the marketplace while on a UN mission in hilly regions of North India. Captivated by the mesmerizing tune from his flute and a strange appeal, she befriends him.

Will they win their battle against the powerful gang?
The ascetic cheated death thrice earlier – will life give him another chance?

In pursuit of answers, Nikita rediscovers her own identity and truths about her troubled childhood – Will it change her life forever? Time will tell…
