It follows the story of Abhaya, a docile homemaker from a traditional Bengali family who's taken it upon herself to put an end to injustice against women. It shows how she uses her skills to solve crimes and catch criminals while looking after her family.[3]
Plot
A traditional and culturally rooted home maker from an orthodox Bengali family, Abhaya is an ardent devotee of Goddess Kali and is extremely attached to the temple of the house. At the same time, the evil inflicted on womankind pains Abhaya. She doesn't recollect fond memories of childhood and is instead reminded of the gory visions where she saw her mother succumb to domestic violence. One day, a sudden incident triggers those memories in Abhaya – she ends up answering her inner calling and becomes a force against the evil inflicted on womankind.
As she confronts the inner strength that lies in her own self, she decides to stop condoning injustice and sets off to avenge heinous crimes committed to women. Her fearless spirit compels her to act.
