In a world where appearances are everything, the spectre of deceit is never fully exorcised…Riddled with myths and legends, the mountain town of Munala hero-worships its first family, the Chandra Singhs, residents of the ancient manor house. The death of the patriarch brings his estranged, unstable daughter Meher back after eleven years and skewers the lives of his beloved and beautiful wife Devyani―a former Bollywood star―and successor son, Raghu. Against a backdrop of bankruptcy and betrayal, Meher must contend with the ghosts of the manor’s past, as well as her own, and discover the secret behind the miniature Swiss house left to her by her father.
