In 1978, a horrific murder takes place in the small idyllic town of Callipur, India. The murder and a string of robberies has the town on edge. The mystery baffles the police department and the young officer who is desperately searching for the truth.
In Shankar Sen's first case, each turn and clue seem to lead to a dead end. The young man who is killed is well liked and has no enemies. Is it a robbery gone wrong? Or is there something sinister going on that someone is trying to hide?
As the young detective steadfastly investigates the mystery, he finds that he cannot always rely on his own department. But he gets help from an unlikely source. As the investigation heads towards its conclusion, more secrets are revealed, and uncovering the truth may not necessarily mean getting justice.
