In the city of echoes, some love stories never end... they just loop. Every evening at the stroke of sunset, Aryan sits in a forgotten corner of a Shimla cafe called ‘The Last Page,’ waiting for a girl who vanished three years ago. His only connection to her is a cryptic diary and a key that fits no lock he knows. But tonight, the atmosphere changes. The snow falls upwards, and a mysterious courier delivers a second key—one that leads to a forbidden basement in a ruined fortress. As Aryan descends into the dark, the lines between reality and delusion begin to shatter. He finds Meera, his lost love, but she is not the girl he remembers.
