When the legacy of Zafar Mir - an individual once-secret supporter of the insurgency who later distanced himself from the cause - resurfaces, his three children are forced to confront the buried truths which make them introspect their values.
Hassan, a level-headed businessman entangled in bureaucratic red tape, dreams of social recognition through a luxury hotel. Aaliyah, a painter shuttling between New York and Srinagar is navigating the cultural tensions between Kashmir and the West that makes her soul search and seek meaning in her art. Zara, the most politically outspoken of the siblings, eventually lives in London under legal scrutiny for her past activism. As situations keep on unfolding, a deeper question arises: can one ever truly sever ties with a homeland steeped in an unresolved conflict?

Due to Hassan announcing plans to marry Asma and immigrate to Canada, his life is drawn into a reckoning and dreams of escape. Can his immigration to a new country offer clarity or only distance?
As the characters meditate on inheritance, resistance, and the scorched beauty of a place that refuses to let go, what must burn for something new to grow?
