L’histoire d’un amour contrarié, d’une vengeance et du pouvoir rédempteur d’une chanson. Femme de tribu insouciante et férocement indépendante, Nooran apprend l’art ancien de la guérison de sa grand-mère, une vénérable chanteuse scorpion. Lorsqu’Aadam, un marchand de chameaux du désert du Rajasthan, entend son chant, il tombe désespérément amoureux. Mais avant qu’ils puissent faire connaissance, Nooran est trahie et empoisonnée, ce qui la lance dans une odyssée périlleuse pour se venger et trouver son chant.
