This romantic thriller, set in the 1980s and 1990s of Trivandrum, knits together a number of micro-stories. The plot follows a young man who has a deep crush, but the romance is fleeting, and he is unsure of its future.

A catastrophe occurs, drastically altering his life forever, and as the story progresses, secrets hidden deep in the city's heart are revealed. Throughout the novel, courageous women transcend cultural restraints to pursue their goals, while aspirations of business success turn violence into a commodity.

In the midst of it all, the city becomes the silent protagonist, instilling guilt in spectators, whose shame overcomes their sense of justice. The novel is a compelling story about the hidden layers of relationships, deception, and responsibility.
