Colorism is discrimination against people based on their skin color. Chandrika, a dusky young woman, has been sipping from a toxic cocktail of social shunning and exclusion all her life. Nosy neighbors, biased relatives and everyone in general, assume she is not as worthy as any fairer person. Besides this, she faces constant pressure from her mother to try fairness treatments to attract a suitable groom.
Chandrika pushes her secret aspirations aside and finally joins the police force where she is thrown head-long into a high-profile murder case. Enter Varunika, a gorgeous and captivating model who is the epitome of everything Chandrika admires. As the case develops, Chandrika finds herself embroiled in intrigue, deception and deadly secrets, including corruption in the very police force she belongs to. Soon, she has to choose between the values instilled by her father and the fulfilment of her dreams to which Varunika holds the key.
Will she succumb to the seduction of the glamour industry OR will she stand tall and find love, honor and self-respect?
