The body of a revered Hindu theologian is discovered in his home, stirring a tempest of unrest among the city's diverse inhabitants. As tensions rise and suspicions bloom, the atmosphere grows heavy with intrigue, mystery, and the shadows of a society on the brink of change.

The story weaves through the lives of its characters, exploring their motivations, desires, and the societal constraints that bind them. Each chapter reveals layers of deception, as the pursuit of truth leads to unexpected alliances and dangerous revelations.

Amidst the chaos, a determined investigator delves into the murky depths of Calcutta’s underbelly. With each clue, he confronts not only the darker aspects of human nature but also the shadows that loom over a nation grappling with its identity. The journey promises to be fraught with challenges and moral dilemmas, ultimately revealing the complexities of loyalty, faith, and the cost of justice.
