A dark crime thriller about an ordinary man's descent into murder and cover-up, exploring how circumstance and desperation can corrupt a mundane life.

Shambhunath Mishra, a retired middle school teacher is living a mundane middle-class life with his wife Manju Mishra in Gwalior. Life takes a complete turn for the Mishra family when a situation gets out of hand and it leads to a killing at the hands of Shambhunath Mishra.
