Meera Vashishth's misguided love left her bruised, shattered and abandoned, only to be found and healed by Susan.
​
Set on a fictional Indian island paradise called Bydore, In The Light Of Darkness is a journey of broken souls looking for closure and new beginnings. Does Susan manage to win back her son? Does Matthew find the future his mother hoped he would? Does Meera finally get away from her past.
