Nem is a student of English Literature at Delhi University. He drifts between classes, weed-hazy parties, and the amorous complexities of campus life, until a chance encounter with an art historian steers him into a world of pleasure and artistic discovery. One day, without warning, his mentor disappears. Years later, a cryptic note plunges him into a search for this mysterious figure from his past-a search which turns into a reckoning with himself. Retelling the myth of Poseidon and his youthful male devotee Pelops, Seahorse transforms a simple coming-of-age story into an epic drama of love, loss and healing.
