As hidden rivalries and long-buried secrets rise to the surface, the party takes a chilling turn. Leading the investigation is Inspector Devika, played by Shriya Pilgaonkar—an emotionally complex cop battling a dark past, whose trauma sharpens her instincts.

Speaking about the role, Shriya said, “Devika isn’t your typical cop. She’s layered, intuitive, and shaped by her own scars. That’s what makes her a fascinating character to play.”

The gripping ensemble also stars Kamya Ahlawat, Ragini Dwivedi, Tuhina Das, Yahhve Sharma, Pranay Pachauri, Smaran Sahu, and Anuj Sachdeva.
