Synopsis

Three friends stop at Shiv Shakti Lodge after their jeep breaks down. This pleasant and quiet mountain abode filled with travellers, turns into a trap when they are told by the caretaker that this is not an ordinary place and they are all dead. Shiv Shakti Lodge is the last resort to make peace before they go to the promised land called Bayoul. If not, they will be stuck here forever. They face a trial by fire in which their relationships and sins are brought into the open and they have to face their guilt and burn their attachments. From denial to grief and backlash to murder, the three friends try to fight the inevitable. Can they make peace with their past, reclaim lost love, or bid a sad adieu to unfulfilled dreams? An urgent and timeless story of the celebration of life through death.
