Priya seems totally committed to her relationship with Alex, but she has a secret - a long-standing on-again, off-again relationship with Prakash. To Priya, Prakash is little more than an old friend, but in reality it's a bit more complicated. And, she's never told Alex.

Alex is not pleased, and soon the existing cracks in their relationship widen, not least because Alex has her own secrets. Prakash has an agenda of his own, fuelled by years of resentment about what he sees as Priya's slipperiness and duplicity. Things soon come to a head and the three must all reap the consequences of their choices.…
