Synopsis

Smar, a young Indian immigrant, is thrust into a harsh American city after a freak accident. Caught between vivid memories of home and the brutal present, he’s haunted by a childhood myth of a 10-headed demon. As memories, myth, and reality intertvine, Smar scavenges to survive and clings to his fading art. He spirals into a surreal journey through identity, faith, and the complexity of the American dream.
