Based on Vish Dhamija’s book Bhendi Bazar, the series sees Bhumi return to form, giving one of her best performances as DCP Reita Ferreira.
Ferreira has to race against time to stop a brutal serial killer from claiming his next victim, while also dealing with patriarchy, subordination and fighting prejudice to sustain her promotion.
