A house can keep secrets. Some never stop waiting.
When twenty-four-year-old Arun Mehta buys an abandoned bungalow in Junagadh at an unbelievably low government auction price, it feels like fate has finally answered his prayers.
A house means security.Security means a future with Komal-the girl he refuses to lose.
But the bungalow comes with a history nobody wants to talk about.
Shut for twenty years, the mansion stands isolated at the end of a silent road, wrapped in dust, old wood, and something far darker beneath its crumbling walls. At first, Arun dismisses the strange noises, flickering lights, and unsettling silence as stress, alcohol, and an overactive imagination.
Until a wind-up clown appears in a locked room upstairs.
A toy that shouldn't exist.
A smile that seems alive.
And a house that behaves less like a house... and more like something waiting to wake up. As terrifying incidents begin to blur the line between paranoia and reality, Arun finds himself trapped inside a nightmare tied to forgotten rituals, vanished lives, and a presence that has not been alone in that bungalow for twenty years.
Some gifts come with a price.And some houses never let their owners leave.
