Storyline
In the heart of St. Vincent College stands the mysterious Virgin Tree, home to a spirit that awakens every Valentine’s Day—drawn by the longing for true love. But this spirit doesn't just answer prayers—it claims souls on Holika Dahan.
When Shantanu, a lonely student, cries out for true love, he unknowingly awakens the spirit. At first, it seems his wish is fulfilled—but the spirit becomes dangerously obsessed with him. What starts as a strange connection soon spirals into a terrifying haunting.
The college atmosphere turns grim—whispers fill empty corridors, doors creak open on their own, and shadows dance without light. The Virgin Tree becomes a cursed landmark. Students are gripped by fear, avoiding it at all costs. Even talking about the spirit becomes taboo.
As unexplained events escalate, the administration seeks help from Baba, a seasoned ghostbuster and para-physicist. But Baba encounters a force that defies everything he’s ever known. This isn’t just another haunting—this is something ancient, powerful, and deeply personal.
With 27 days of love and horror unfolding from Valentine's Day to Holi, the campus becomes a battleground between longing and terror—where love awakens the spirit, and fear fuels her wrath.
