Krish never wanted to go camping—especially not with the father who barely knows him. But when a detour in the unforgiving wilds of Ladakh leads them to a village erased from history, their uneasy reunion becomes a fight for survival. Little did Krish know, this trip would change his life forever.

The village of Imdur is shrouded in mystery and danger. The eerie silence is only broken by the whispers of dark secrets and the villagers’ distrustful stares. Krish quickly learns that they are not welcome here and must tread carefully to survive.
As he unravels the village’s secrets, Krish realizes that his own father has been keeping something from him. Something that could cost them both their lives. But in a place where ancient rituals and traditions hold power over life and death, Krish must navigate through the darkness to uncover the truth.
Some places change you. Some truths demand it. And in Imdur, Krish will be forced to confront his deepest fears and make choices that will determine his fate.
