IM/PURE is a classic horror tale, a multi-cultural fusion of Greek mythology, biblical parable, and Nepali fables.
GYAN has been missing for four days… When he appears back home suddenly his wife CHANDNI is extremely worried. Her husband has been terrified by something supernatural and malicious. Deep within her pure soul, she senses that the thing that has scared him so badly is female. Disturbing flashes of memory come to GYAN, leaving many unanswered questions. What happened to him in those days he now cannot fully remember? Who is the small shadowy male figure with the strange face? Why does he keep seeing flashes of golden implements… axes and a sickle? How is the large woman with the strange hair involved? And where is SIDHARTHA, the itinerant recluse who has been missing now for several days? Didn’t GYAN just see him? Wasn’t it only yesterday?Golden axes… Could it all have something to do with what happened between GYAN and his younger brother, BIR? The thing that forever put a stain on his soul.Can GYAN put together all the parts of the puzzle? With the help of his friend JYOTI, he begins the search for answers. Somewhere in the bush, near a river, there is a cave. He knows that someone… no… “something” lives deep within that hollow space. He knows that it is hungry, and he feels its thirst?
