By Prashant Mishra

Zain Merchant thought the safest thing he ever did was stop asking questions. When every member of an old group chat deletes the same week of messages, and a ghost from his past walks back into Chennai carrying answers that cut both ways, Zain is pulled into a scandal where the viral story rewrites itself faster than the truth can keep up. In a world where tattoos hold evidence, undelivered letters hide fortunes, and a trusted friend is feeding every secret to the crowd, Zain must decide whether protecting the innocent is worth destroying himself.
