Preethi might have killed someone and gotten away with it.
If only she could remember whom.

Dr Shekhar has his own secrets. The eminent psychiatrist plans to destroy the other business owned by Preethi’s father—a state-of-the-art drug testing centre. Sleaze, greed, corruption... the centre’s stellar reputation conceals many sins, including the loss of someone very dear to Shekhar. When all his plots to infiltrate the centre fail, Shekhar finds one Preethi, with her clout as the owner’s daughter and her expertise in computers.
What Shekhar encounters is much bigger than what he expected. Family secrets, a daughter who committed suicide, rumours of mental illness, employees who vanished. There is also the beautiful and mysterious Dr Nandini, the second-in-command in the business. Is she another of the pawns in the game? Or is she someone with her own game to play?
