“Shiva wants to bring about the change, sway the youth and overthrow the power pillars.
“Shiva gets the first taste of power. Shiva and Samar’s lives intersect as the national politics meets campus activism.
“The dance of politics ensues as a series of events expose the inherent deceit, manipulation, greed, ambition and violence in all the relationships.”
