Shaan is recruited by Tillotama Shome's character to spy on Shailendra when he comes to stay at the hotel. Using an opportunity to save his son, Shaan gains entrance. However, Shailendra's right hand man (Saswata) is not convinced about his true motives. Meanwhile, it seems that Shaan and Shailendra's wife get closer, complicating matters further.

The tense thriller, which will premiere on Disney+ Hotstar on February 17, has been directed by Sandeep Modi.
