They move to the vast, crumbling bungalow surrounded by dry thorn forests. The house is filled with eerie, life-like portraits of Karthik’s patrilineal line—all men who died young, leaving widows and "stillborn" children.

Karthik doesn't believe it until the 7th birthday of his nephew (who lives in a nearby village) arrives.

Karthik, a rationalist software engineer, and his pregnant wife, Anjali, a former child psychiatrist, live in a modern Chennai apartment. Their beloved maid, Lakshmi, dies by suicide—jumping from their balcony. Before dying, she scrawls a single word in Tamil on the kitchen floor with vermilion: "Paal" (Milk).
