The emergency begins with them ~

Nirvan Trivedi and Anvay Joshi share a friendship as old and tangled as the streets of Varanasi itself. At just nineteen, they've grown up beneath the city's ghats, temples, and whispered secrets. But this year, as the grand Neelvritt Mahotsav returns, the air is thicker than usual - with blood, betrayal, and the weight of ancestral sins. When Nirvan's powerful family is brutally murdered, Anvay finds himself entangled in the dark heart of it all. Between the city's eerie festivities, a legacy soaked in hidden violence, and the sharp, unrelenting gaze of Officer Revati Rao, Anvay must navigate a world where friendship bleeds, loyalties shatter, and the past refuses to stay buried.
