We Were Never There at Platform Nine

By Adeeba Rashid

When Noor Chawla receives a voice note from a dead woman, the sleepy coastal rhythms of Goa crack open to reveal a theft buried beneath a beloved musician's fame. Partnering with the missing woman's son, Noor must untangle gaslighting, a suspicious hospital wristband, and her own unreliable memory before an internal inquiry silences her for good. The only way to expose the truth is to speak it aloud at a live public event, in front of the very community that has always chosen comfort over honesty. But the final witness has been watching from the beginning, wearing a different face each time.
