Her parents would ground her forever, if they knew about what she had done. Her nightmares were gruelling, she had no answers and didn’t know where to look for it either. And therefore, she was quite upset that night and had mistakenly taken some pills for her headache. But she should have known better. The result, a video of her from that party was about to be circulated. And she had no idea how to stop it or get out this situation. She did not dare to go to her parents for help and all her friends had abandoned her. Just as she was about to give up, and surrender to the consequences of her mistake, Pearl meets Edwina, who offers her a helping hand. Edwina promises to undo everything, make the video vanish. Even the person who made that video and was blackmailing her.. if that was the only way to save Pearl. And nobody would know a thing about this incident or the video. The catch? Pearl had to search for a girl. Edwina did not know her name, but had a picture of hers. If Pearl does not manage to find this girl in three months, then Edwina would leak the video. But, this time it would be to a media house.. and that would be worse than it getting circulated in her school. But, then again.. as soon as Pearl looks at the picture of the girl Edwina wants her to find, she is dumbfounded. The girl in the picture was the same girl, Pearl had been dreaming about. The freaking nightmare girl! This increases her curiosity, because only Edwina or this girl can answer all her question. Why Pearl kept seeing this girl every night and why did she always wake up feeling depressed. Because, Edwina refuses to give her any detail and they don’t know where this girl was. Pearl uses her social media power and her parent’s connections to look for this girl, as soon as she can. This girl holds the key to most of her life’s problem and Pearl wanted answers. But, how would she find this girl? And did this girl know anything about the nightmares Pearl was having? Three month is fast approaching, but neither Pearl nor Edwina had succeeded in finding this girl. Until, one day Pearl finds that girl standing in front of her.
