Young, carefree and happy, her life revolves around her family - her loving parents and her two older brothers: Arjun, the eldest, an idealistic young man who is an active member of the Peoples Party, and Daksh, who is the black sheep of the family.

On the brink of giving up hope, who will Rhea summon to her rescue? Will Abhimanyu, who abhors India, help Rhea negotiate this quagmire? How will they unravel the mystery behind Arjun`s wrongful murder charge? Will Abhimanyu and Rhea see the tomorrow of their dreams together or walk different paths?
