In the shadows of a bustling city, where justice is often a fleeting illusion, Ishita, a seemingly innocent baker, lives a quiet life-one that hides a storm of vengeance brewing within. Beneath her warm smile and flour-dusted hands, she meticulously plots the perfect revenge for her father's unsolved murder, a crime buried by the system that was meant to protect him.

Unknown to those around her, Ishita has become a ghost-haunting criminals with no ties, no traces, and no mercy. Her targets disappear without a whisper, their sins left uncovered for the world to see, yet no one suspects the sweet girl behind the counter.

But one man is close to unraveling her secret. Ranveer, a sharp and intuitive detective, is tracking down a string of vigilante killings, unaware that the woman he loves is the one behind them. As the mystery tightens, their paths cross in ways neither could anticipate.

How long can Ishita remain invisible? And what will happen when Ranveer uncovers the truth? In a world where trust and deceit are intertwined, one question lingers: Can justice truly be served without sacrifice?
