SHADOWS can be driven away by a single ray of light shining at the correct angle.
Rishi, a marine engineer, sailing on ships braving the forces of nature, piracy and onslaught of rules and regulations of ship operation, had never expected to be drawn into a web of corruption, bribery, deceit and sex, when he shifts to a shore based managerial job. Nor had he expected to become the proprietor of a leading escort agency.
Dissanee, a small town girl from Thailand, leading a simple pious life ingrained with family values, dreaming of taking care of her mother and brother, and being the best nail artist in the country, had never imagined to be drawn into the flesh trade and becoming a highly sought after escort.
Both are successful in the profession that life has dealt them, but haunted by shadows of the past.
Rishi and Dissanee are two individuals from different parts of the world, their lives intertwined by unforeseen and intriguing situations.
