Bitya is a young university lecturer from Delhi whose face has been ravaged by an acid attack that has left her permanently disfigured. Hurt and humiliated by life she decides to return to her childhood home in the foothills of the Himalayas. As she retreats into herself, her face covered by a soft gauze veil, her brightly painted nails the only hint of colour, Bitya becomes transfixed by the voices that sing out from the foundations of the old house.The English missionary, the doomed homosexual lovers, the catholic priest, the erstwhile companion of Aleister Crowley, and his exquisite, sensual mistress - with and above them all is the ghost of the house itself, solitary and sad, controlling and articulating these colliding realities. After a century of silence something compels him to speak - words that the injured woman now inhabiting the house will hear; words that will give her back to herself.
