Bhiki, a single mother of three, is the mistress of the macho Vishnu and survives by selling fritters under his abusive protection.

Kamli, her eldest daughter, is not academically inclined but insists on attending school as it is the only escape from her impoverished surroundings. On the verge of puberty, Kamli is shunned by her classmates and picked on by the teacher. While the village grocer and the class bully lust for her, Kamli develops tender feelings for the handsome, intelligent and kind Ajay, who arrives from Mumbai and joins her class.

Confused by Bhiki’s constant pressure to ensnare Ajay into a physical relationship, Kamli awkwardly tries to seduce him. Watching Ajay and Kamli in the act, Bhiki offers herself forcibly to Ajay.

Will the swirling Dark Waters of poverty and animalistic lust surrounding Kamli devour her innocence and destroy her capacity to love tenderly, or will she survive to grow stronger?
