) who is an amateur artist who is married to Kriti (

), an outspoken and brash housewife. Together with their seven-year- old son Suvid (Rosin Subedi), they seem to lead a normal life. This normality includes arguments regarding the household finances and the separate, independent lives the couple lead. Things start to take a serious turn when Suresh discovers that Kriti is hiding things from him. Suresh’s best friend Jayant is of the belief that Kriti is untrustworthy and is most probably having an affair. When Kriti’s ex is brutally murdered, Jayant firmly believes that Kriti is involved in this crime. Though Suresh is not convinced of this initially, events start to unfold that firmly lead him to believe that the mother of his son is trying to kill him.
