In the rural badlands of north India, a young widow is drawn into the investigation of a murdered teenager that divides the local community.
Santosh, a liability in a society where casteism and misogyny are rife, has reluctantly inherited her late husband’s post as a police constable. When a lower caste girl’s body is discovered in a well, charismatic Inspector Geeta Sharma mentors Santosh through the case as she navigates dubious policing methods, ingrained corruption and caste oppression. Sandhya Suri’s hard-hitting and accomplished thriller focuses on the complex moral dilemma facing this tentative, wide-eyed female cop.
