Joey, orphaned at a young age, grew up under the loving care of his aunt. His cousin Tapas was more than just a brother—he was his closest friend. A professor by profession, Joey had a peculiar habit—he loved taking month-long trips to unknown destinations without informing anyone.

But upon returning from one such mysterious journey, he was stunned to learn that Tapas had suddenly married. When Joey met Sudipta, his friend’s intelligent, graceful, and charming wife, he was deeply impressed. Their friendship blossomed, but soon, Joey's subconscious desires surfaced, revealing his forbidden attraction toward Sudipta.
