When Diya Mathurs loses her parents in a tragic car accident in Boston, her world is turned upside down. As the only surviving relative, she feels alone and adrift. However, a mysterious letter from India arrives, claiming to be from her extended family that she had never heard of before. Intrigued, Diya decides to take a break from school and travel to India to meet her newfound relatives.

However, her hopes of a new beginning are quickly dashed as a series of bizarre and terrifying animal attacks occur around her and her family. Diya begins to uncover the dark secrets her family is hiding, including the curse of the Chakwa, a shapeshifting trickster with the feet of a large beast that is said to have caused tragedies for centuries within her family.

As the bodies pile up and the truth becomes clearer, Diya realizes that her parents' car crash may not have been an accident after all. She is now faced with a monster that threatens to destroy her happiness and everything she holds dear. With the help of her newly discovered friends and family, Diya must not only defeat the monster from her nightmares but also unravel the web of lies that has been woven into her life.

Through her journey, Diya learns the importance of courage, resilience, and the power of family. She discovers that sometimes the greatest battles are fought within ourselves and that true strength comes from facing our fears and embracing our true identities.

In the end, Diya emerges victorious, having defeated the monster and reclaimed her life. She is forever changed by her experiences, but she carries the lessons she has learned with her, ready to face any challenges that come her way.
