This series is set against the backdrop of an intimate wedding in Burhanpur. Everything appears good until one of the bride's best friends is discovered dead. The joyous party rapidly transforms into an intense mystery. Secrets, rage and betrayal among friends emerge as the story progresses. Inspector Devika, a smart and brave police officer, played by Shriya Pilgaonkar, aims to investigate the case. Devika leads the inquiry to determine what truly transpired. As the truth is revealed, friendships are strained, and it becomes difficult to discern who to trust.
Speaking about her character, Shriya told Hindustan Times, 'She doesn't have to be super aggressive while interrogating someone. She is ok to be gentle. But she will be tough, too. I like that there is no aggression for the sake of it. But yes, women in spaces where men have historically taken up more space tend to hold on to that and stay in power much more." This is the first time Shriya is playing a cop on screen.
