Dev Joshi Singhaniya stood at his penthouse window, gazing out at Mumbai's glittering cityscape and the Arabian sea beyond. The moon cast a silver glow over the metropolis, but Dev's thoughts were shrouded in darkness. His phone buzzed, breaking the silence. "Justice Shadow, we have a problem," Ayaan's voice was low and urgent on the other end. Dev's expressions turned cold, his eyes narrowing. "What kind of problem?" he asked, his tone devoid of emotion. "One of our men has been betrayed. The police are closing in," Ayaan replied. Dev's grip on his phone tightened. "No one betrays me and my gang." He pushed, his mind racing. "Find out who's behind this. I'll handle it personally." Across town, Ananya Sharma sighed, staring at another rejection letter on her kitchen table. Her medical engineering degree seemed worthless in the face of Mumbai's competitive job market. "Mom, I'll find a job soon," she reassured her anxious mother, who was busy cooking dinner. Avneet burst into her room, bubbly and energetic. "Ananya, let's go out! Forget those job rejections. We need a break." Ananya smiled, pushing aside her worries. "Tonight, let's forget everything." Little did they know, their lives were about to intersect with Dev's dark world, where loyalty was a luxury and betrayal a death sentence.
