Karuthamma, born to a Yamadoot, turns fourteen on Earth while Sigappan, an intersex child taken to the underworld in exchange, grows up with the Yamadoots. When their paths cross, the world is at the brink of destruction. Yama has disappeared. His twin Yami, an immortal on Earth, is trying to hold the fort.
