Synopsis
In a world where ambition collides with conscience, Sathya finds himself at a critical juncture. Tempted by powerful forces and lured by the promise of success, he faces a choice that could reshape his destiny. Yet, beneath the dazzling allure of power lies a persistent unease—a quiet struggle between what is convenient and what is right. As questions of loyalty, courage, and self-worth surface, Sathya’s heart becomes a battleground where he must confront the essence of his character.
What will Sathya choose?
