Synopsis of my WIP
Unveiling the synopsis of my work-in-progress, tentatively titled The Unjourney – 11:11:11.
A moodboard that reflects the aesthetic of my WIPWhen you meddle with time, time meddles with you.
June 21st, 2014.
Jessica Almeida, a young scientist, creates a portable time machine named Vaqt. For the first trial run, she travels back to her past for a few minutes, unintentionally triggering a chain of events.
The same day, Leela Krishnamurthy, a fashion designer, boards flight MAA 171 bound for Sydney, to surprise her fiancé. But the plane vanishes mid-air a few minutes after takeoff and stays disappeared for the next six years.
April 2020. Maya Krishnamurthy, a successful Tamil cine actor, has been battling depression for six years since her breakup with her then-boyfriend and the subsequent disappearance of her sister Leela on the infamous aircraft MAA 171. She finds a little solace and her source of light in her current boyfriend and twin flame, Nikhil Raj.
A chance meeting with the scientist Jessica Almeida (who is also her high-school friend) leads to Maya learning about the existence of Vaqt, which Jessica lends to her after a successful demo and a little persuasion. Maya revisits many memories of her past, including her college days with her ex-boyfriend, Anuj Vishwanath. Eventually, curiosity lands her in trouble. During one of her visits to the past, Maya changes a tiny thing, assuming it wouldn’t affect the future much. But when she returns to her present, she is met with a horrific altered timeline, thanks to that one twist.
Adding to her helplessness – Vaqt and its creator are no longer in the picture, either. Will Maya be able to retrieve her original timeline? What is the connection between that minor change in her past and her altered present? Should she rather make peace with the altered timeline where she is just a husk of her old self?
How is everything connected to flight MAA 171?
Let me know how it is and if it makes you want to read the book
