Dr. Mrinalini Sengupta is a troubled psychiatrist battling her own demons. She is supposed to testify as a witness in an unsolved murder case but she is disturbed because it will implicate her favourite musician, the sensational rockstar Rudra Raghuvanshi, as the culprit. She is further baffled when Rudra approaches her for an appointment for a consultation.

But it is just the beginning.

Soon, Mrinalini realizes that her life is in danger. And only one person can help her - Rudra.

There are many faces around her, though each is hidden behind a carefully crafted masquerade.

Can Mrinalini fight the shadows and dark secrets of the past, think beyond her fascination for Rudra, and use her mind to uncover the layers behind the masks surrounding her?

Now you want to take the life of the man who stood by you when your own father threw you away like dust? You're a killer, Rudra." That was it. My patience snapped. Suddenly, the lights went out. A loud bang ripped through the darkness. And in the very next second-the lights flickered back on. Mr. Malhotra was on the ground, lifeless. But here's the thing-I didn't pull the trigger. ●Will Rudra finally uncover who's framing him, or will this death seal his fate for good? ●What truth is buried in Rudra's past that everyone keeps throwing at him?
