dead. The girl is alive, but she has been beaten and abused.
She is held in the local prison, awaiting interrogation for
the murders she is believed by the local people to have
committed. Visiting social worker Simran attempts to
break through the girl's mute trance to find out what

hauntingly real, this is a major debut from an exciting
