Sheetal must represent her nakshatra in the competition, which sees mortals perform or compose an art piece while being inspired by a star. The current matriarch and patriarch of the stars are stepping down, which means it’s time for houses to compete for the right to rule. She follows the call, bringing her best friend Minal along for the ride, and sees her mother for the first time in 10 years. It instructs Sheetal to answer the starsong and travel to the stars. In response, her aunt gives her a letter left by her mother many years ago. Just when she and Dev, her boyfriend, start to hit it off, Sheetal’s celestial origins start to manifest in ways she can’t control. Ten years later, near Sheetal’s 17th birthday, she feels the pull of the starsong, a sidereal melody that pulls her toward the celestial realm. Sheetal’s mom rejoined the constellations in her nakshatra (a celestial palace/governing body), leaving a 7-year-old Sheetal with her father. Her mom is a star–the celestial, twinkle twinkle kind, not the Hollywood walk of fame kind. Star Daughter follows Sheetal Mistry, 16-going-on-17-year-old with a cosmic secret.
