Overview
An extraterrestrial spacecraft from a dying world crashes into an isolated rural community, leaving a single alien survivor stranded on Earth. To evade capture, the highly intelligent being adopts a human identity named Saranga while secretly studying human behavior, medicine, and culture. As strange phenomena and unusual physiological occurrences begin affecting the villagers, a dedicated professor and government investigators attempt to track down the hidden entity. The narrative delivers a tense, cerebral exploration of a lone visitor caught between advanced cosmic knowledge and deeply rooted local folklore.
