Sandhya Suri’s gripping procedural crime thriller is a dramatic and disquieting look into the world of crime, law, castes, religion, and gender relations in Indian society.

Santosh is a young widow who inherits her deceased husband’s position of police officer in rural Northern India through a government initiative. After the discovery of the body of a low-caste girl who was raped and murdered ignites protests, Santosh’s police station becomes the focus of media attention. The charismatic Chief Inspector Geeta Sharma is brought in to lead the investigation and she takes Santosh under her wing.

"A terrific feature debut from British-Indian documentary filmmaker Sandhya Suri – a propulsive neo-noir that holds up a mirror to contemporary India." - Wendy Ide, Screen International
