In B'tween: The 3 Claps of Thunder

In this supernatural drama inspired by T.S. Eliot's poem The Waste Land, a powerful attachment binds Priya, a ghost, to the mortal world. Her children, Sunny and Sonya, continue to be affected by an evil spell the sorcerer, Dev, cast on the family. Alas, there is no way to undo the dark magic and destroy the evil monster.Sunny and Sonya's friend, a private detective called Leda, attempts to rid them of the curse. It backlashes; she becomes afflicted herself. She pursues Dev. Worried out of his mind, her husband, the philanthropic Patrick, arrives at the scene. He tries to dissuade Leda, but the compassionate lady is too involved. At this juncture, Sonya disappears on what she calls "important business." It appears like she has teamed up with Dev.Dev's viciousness festers. Priya is distraught. The spirit of her cursed home, No.7, appears to her in a thunderstorm. His thunderclap-sharp words, "Datta, Dayadhvam, D¿myata," and the following reiteration of the Sanskrit synonym of peace, "Shantih," predict that peace will be restored at No.7. The spirit, however, remains quiet about Sunny and Sonya. Will they overcome the curse? Is that even possible with Dev controlling their destiny?In the vision accompanying the message, Priya glimpses the silhouettes of Patrick and Leda, embodying the qualities of Datta (generosity) and Dayadhvam (compassion). She struggles to identify the third elusive entity who walks with them. Priya thinks she does not know anyone with exceptional self-restraint, D¿myata, but does she not really?
