By Prashant Mishra

When Navya Pillai, a 22-year-old bookseller in Bengaluru's theatre district, is tagged in a photograph from a night she cannot remember, a dormant scandal tears back into her life and pulls her younger sibling into its orbit. As she unravels a viral activist account secretly run by the very institution it claims to expose, the only evidence she finds is a handwritten timeline stolen from her own room. To survive the truth, Navya must confess her own entanglement with the case and trust that two families who have been guarding opposite halves of a secret will finally speak at the same time.
