Some songs stay with you long after the note fades. Some nights stay long after the light goes out. And some deaths - the ones that come without warning, without reason - stay with you forever."
Lakshya never thought his life would become a mystery. He was a singer - a boy with voice, a dream, and a stage. But the world has a strange way pulling you into darkness, even when you are standing in the brightest spotlight.
It began with a stranger's smile at a concert. A smile that knew something Lakshya didn't.
Then came the hills - quiet, beautiful, and hiding something terrible beneath their silence.
And then came the murder.
Now Lakshya, his best friend Akhil, and a friend broken by grief must do the unthinkable - find the truth before it finds them first.
Some moments arrive early... so they hurt longer.
