As Prissha dives deeper into the case, the city whispers of a monster who delivers vengeance where the law fails. The media paints The Cutter as a hero, but Prissha knows better-this isn't justice. This is terror. And it's escalating. When the politician's son becomes the next victim, the hunt turns personal.
