Unraveling a serial killer's reign

In the book based on 1982, three young girls were sold in Bombay's red-light area instead of on a trip from the Soviet Union to the West. About twenty-five years after that, the killings begin. Each of the casualties is a man. They are all waiting for trysts with wealthy escorts, playing tricks. The media and DCP Rita Ferreira both know right away that it's the work of a serial murderer. Mumbai residents are reeling from the breaking news that the city's first serial killer in recent memory is free to roam the streets. The serial murderer gives Rita 24 hours to put an end to the next killing, as she struggles to piece together the killer's pattern. It remains to be seen if Rita can successfully put an end to the next killing before falling victim to someone else.

Sreekanth Agneeaswaran, Rohan D'Souza, and Priya Saggi craft the story, while Sreekanth Agneeaswaran and Rohan D'Souza write the screenplay, with Hussain Haidry credited with the dialogues.
