In a small provincial campus hiding big secrets, five student journalists stumble upon a ghost project--a youth seminar funded twice under two names. What begins as a simple expose spiral into a dark web of corruption, deception, and danger. As anonymous threats grow louder and friends go silent, they uncover the chilling truth: the youth aren't just being used--they're being erased. The Fifth Column is a slow-burn mystery-thriller that blends investigative journalism, political intrigue, hard-hitting exposés, encrypted codes, and a dash of kilig--all written through the lens of a campus journalist who dared to question power.

She existed. He's sure of it. Zara sat beside Ayaan in every psychology lecture-black hoodie, messy braid, always early. But when she vanishes, no one else remembers her. Not his classmates. Not the professor. Not even the attendance records. CCTV shows Ayaan talking to an empty seat. His memories are contradicting reality. And he's being followed. Then a video arrives: Zara, strapped to a chair, bruised and terrified. "Don't let them find me." With nowhere else to turn, Ayaan teams up with Faizaan, a brilliant hacker, and Vedant, his fearless friend. Together, they uncover Project Shadow Mind-a conspiracy that erases people from existence. But Ayaan isn't just investigating. He's on their list too: Subject A-21. Now he's racing to save Zara before they erase him. And the person helping him might be working for them. A psychological thriller about memory, identity, and the girl everyone forgot.
