In a world where seconds can mean the difference between life and death, a group of eight young women embarks on a mission to revolutionize India's emergency response system. 118: The Fault Line is a gripping tale of resilience, teamwork, and the pursuit of change against overwhelming odds.
When a devastating assault claims the life of one of their closest friends, these Master in Policy & Governance students, a partial equivalent to IAS Training are left reeling with grief and guilt. Vanya, the visionary among them, had a dream: to develop the existing unified emergency helpline that could save lives and bring order in times of chaos and now the same took her life away. In her honor, the group takes up her unfinished mission, determined to make her dream a reality.
As they navigate political resistance, technological challenges, and the weight of their own trauma, the team designs "118," a groundbreaking nationwide response network. Testing their system in the bustling heart of the country, they rally experts-firefighters, paramedics, army officers, and tech visionaries-to make it work. But as success inches closer, long-buried secrets and tensions within the group threaten to shatter their unity.
Blending drama, thriller, and a dash of romance, this is more than a story about creating change-it's a testament to the human spirit, the power of community, and the legacy of one life inspiring countless others.
Will they succeed in changing the nation's destiny, or will their differences and past demons derail the dream forever?

Excerpt:
"You can't hold me like that and not kiss me," whispered Vinaya, her face an inch away from his, his strong arms wrapped around her small body.
"I can't, Yaya," he said in his deep voice, "Your brother's friendship means too much to me to do this." His mind was a whirlwind of emotions that threatened to cloud his judgment.
"More than I do?" She asked, closing the gap between their lips.
