Someone is killing Delhi's most powerful men.
Each murder is colder, cleaner, and more calculated than the last.
And the only thing they have in common?
None of their sins ever made it to the surface.
Arnav Mehra, a top crime profiler, is brought in to crack the case - and fast. With his quiet intensity and a haunted past, he prefers facts over feelings... until now.
At home, he's learning to breathe again with Khushi - soft-hearted, book-loving, and full of light. She grounds him in ways no one else ever has.
But the deeper Arnav digs into the case, the more it starts to dig back into him.
There are clues he can't explain. Truths he doesn't want to believe.
And a question he's not ready to ask:
What if the monster he's chasing isn't a stranger at all?
