Synopsis
Rishit Rathore is Reez - one of the most celebrated contemporary authors in India, known for
emotionally devastating fiction and an identity so carefully guarded that his readers have never seen
his face. He moves through the world with quiet control, his public persona a carefully maintained
mystery.
Bhavya Singh is a final-year English student who commutes two hours each way to college by bus.
She is a devoted reader of Reez - she owns every book he has written, defends his characters
fiercely, and has never once questioned whether the man behind the words might be someone she
could actually meet.
They meet on a morning bus. Rishit recognises the cover of his own book in her hands. He watches
her read. He watches her argue, quietly, with his choices. Somewhere between her murmured
conviction that his heroine could have been saved and the moment she steps off at her stop without
ever looking up, something in him shifts.
