the daayan

In a town buried in snow, some secrets refuse to stay dead. Nineteen-year-old Suhani arrives in the freezing, fog-shrouded mountains of Shimla to attend the prestigious St. Thomas College, hoping for a fresh start. Instead, she unknowingly steps into a centuries-old curse. After a terrifying, near-death encounter with a bloodthirsty shadow entity on the notorious Old Road, Suhani’s life spirals into a nightmare of weeping trees, brutal murders, and dark campus secrets. The locals whisper of the "Wishing Well"—an ancient, cursed pit that grants your deepest desires but demands a deadly price. Aided by her friends Nisha and Vivek, Suhani dives into the deadly mystery to uncover the truth behind the covered-up murder of a former student. But the closer they get to the truth, the more aggressive the shadow becomes. Her only shield against the darkness is Yuvraj Dewan—the college's cold, arrogant, and breathtakingly handsome young professor. He is a man made of ice and secrets, yet he repeatedly appears out of nowhere to pull Suhani from the jaws of death. Guided by a mysterious Himalayan ascetic, Suhani learns that the shadow is controlled by a "Cursed Human." To survive, she must unmask the master of the entity. But in a town where the wealthy elite bury their sins in the snow, digging up the past might just dig her own grave. Some wishes demand a price you cannot pay. Will Suhani break the curse, or will she become the shadow's next victim?
