This is the story of Bhuvana who loses her mother very early in life and her father marries his own scheming house-maid’s teenaged grand-daughter. Bhuvana aspires to be a surgeon but her life turns on its head when she is forced to marry the greedy and lecherous grocer Duraiswamy. The narrative traces the trauma Bhuvana faces in her life as she is tormented by her husband who has an affair which ends up in marriage with her own step sister; her trials and tribulations while bringing up her daughter as a single, working mother.

Is there a limit to how low people can fall? Can greed and lust make human beings behave like creatures; cheat and torment our own near and dear ones?

The gripping story raises these uncomfortable questions and looks at the beastly side of human beings.
