Renu and her brother, chess prodigy Karthik, have spent years stitching together a fragile peace after escaping the brutality of their father. Silence and survival have become their way of life until news of the man’s sudden death shatters their uneasy balance.

The messenger is Inspector Shashank, whose probing questions dig deeper than they should. What begins as a simple inquiry twists into a psychological duel, as memories claw their way back and secrets long buried rise to the surface.

In this game of truth and deception, every move shifts the balance of power. Who’s really in control? Who’s playing whom? And, in the end, who will emerge as the grandmaster?
