Our Alibi Was Trending at the Residency Gate

By Prashant Mishra

When twenty-year-old startup founder Aisha Anand notices that a viral confession circulating through a Noida newsroom reproduces her private diary word for word, she begins pulling a thread that unravels a celebrated rescue story into something far darker. Partnering with a musician searching for a missing parent, Aisha uncovers that the rescue was staged to hide an accidental death, and that the confession was never an admission of guilt but a carefully coded signal designed to expose a larger conspiracy. With a sealed records deal closing in and a mismatched hospital wristband pointing toward the truth, Aisha must confront the most destabilizing possibility of all: the victim chose to disappear. Taut, disorienting, and relentlessly suspenseful, this is a story about who controls the narrative when everyone in the room agrees on a lie.
