Created to serve and protect, tempered by circumstance. Cut loose, abandoned, and left to find their way through Samsara alone. Sinha is a young asura who can transform from lion to man. In a struggle to find his identity, he seeks out the familiar: the reincarnations of his long-dead companions. The water buffalo god, Isha, plays with fire. Ambition lands him under the foot of the Asura King. The best intentions pave a pathway to hell. Destinies entwined, the knots of Samsara take hold.
