Kaumudi is a young girl, who lives Mumbai. She enjoys her chosen career but perceives confusing gaps in her life and soon finds herself on a journey of discovery that takes her through the hidden and troubling past of her family. In trying to discover her roots, she unearths shocking truths that have shaped her present reality.
Shyam and Bansi are two opposing forces that remain in a battle of virtues throughout. But like the raging Ganga, the lives of their wives, Ramdulari and Muniya take several twists and turns till they entwine and each becomes a shield and a support for the other. The ghats of Benaras become an analogy to their own lives signifying the influx of people who come to worship but leave their sins behind to defile the waters and change the Ganga forever.
The toxic brew of the past burdens and misunderstandings spawns decades of separation between Ramdulari and Muniya till Kaumudi starts to piece together her life's puzzle. She tracks down Muniya, but, will it be too late?
