When retired Inspector Mridul Sen receives word of Constable Shamu's sudden death, a deep sense of loss and unfinished business overwhelms him. Battling his own demons, he embarks on a journey to Shantiniketan on a mission to uncover the truth that eluded Shamu and to confront the shadows of a case long buried. What begins as an invitation to lunch turns into something far darker and more sinister.
And at last, the murderer of Trisha Dasgupta comes to light, albeit at a cost.
