Scandals have a way of slipping under the surface in the sleepy hill-station of Nalanoor. But when a local woman is murdered, Vishnu sets about on an investigation that could uncover some very prickly truths about a world that seems otherwise idyllic in every way. Elsewhere, newlywed Mridula struggles with the horrors of uncovering her husband’s infidelity. Plain looking and unlettered, her journey from a meek girl to a woman bent on revenge at all costs leads her to the most chilling of conclusions. All Mani wants is a good night’s sleep before his next shift at the hospital. But his neighbour’s singing keeps him up and Mani’s attempt to retaliate backfires comically. To make things worse, he gets embroiled with a local mob boss; an affiliation that pulls him further towards predicaments he would rather avoid. The stories of Vishnu, Mridula and Mani weave around one another against the backdrop of a town still clinging to its British roots in a newly independent India. When the dust settles on their stories, the truths uncovered leave a profound mark on each of them.
