They fall in love before they know what the word means -- Lolita, orphaned at an early age, and Shekhar, who reaches out and gives her the security she craves. They share joys and sorrows through childhood and adolescence, and unknown to them the relationship of an unspoken right they hold over each other metamorphs into a love so intense, they can't even sense it coming. It takes an outsider, Girish, for them to discover that there's something between them that's bigger than both of them.
