Summary:

Never rest on wilted laurels. 

Amidst a dwindling food supply, word has spread amongst the people of a secluded village within the Sundarbans of a shark prowling the nearby mangroves, claiming the fishermen's last resort as its hunting ground.

Young fisherman Ashwani is thrown forth as the villagers' tribute to hunt the brute down, his brother Malik rushing to accompany him on what seems to be a death sentence. For Ashwani knows the moment they leave the village walls, their armour wears off; their hubris will melt into hysteria. The marsh will prey on them.

If you're reading this I'm sure I owe you at least one of these: I'm Sorry. I Forgive You. You Were Right. And most importantly, Thank You. If you've made me smile, you've helped me live.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, or fabulous?
