Our Alibi Was Trending at Platform Nine

By Prashant Mishra

When nineteen-year-old archivist Arjun Nair boards a monsoon-stranded train crossing central India, he expects six weeks of routine cataloguing work. A police evidence label stitched inside a vintage jacket changes everything, pulling him and a grieving musician into a decades-old conspiracy built on compromised biometric data and deleted documentary subtitles. As each generation rewrites the same catastrophic night, Arjun must decide how much truth a person can carry before belief itself becomes a weapon. A dark and propulsive debut that asks whether being right is worth the cost of being believed.
