In Kolkata, a string of murders unfolds with the killer leaving a verse from Bengali poetry beside each victim. The pattern baffles the police as poetry becomes a deadly clue. ACP Abhijit Pakrashi leads the investigation while Amrita Mukherji covers the case and becomes his confidant.

As pressure mounts, Abhijit and Amrita navigate professional and personal tensions. Commissioner Amit Kumar Srivastav insists on bringing back ex-DCP Probir Roy Chowdhury, whose controversial methods reignite old wounds. The two investigators must decide whether to trust an outsider or forge a joint path.

The killings are tied to the death anniversaries of renowned Bengali poets, a clue that drives the investigation toward a literary motive rather than random violence. The team realizes solving the case hinges on decoding poetry and history. The next target is anticipated on 29 June, the death anniversary of Michael Madhusudan Dutt.

Attention shifts to Nibaron Chakraborty, a reclusive poet linked to the Hungry Generation. Amrita visits Rafique Ahmed and meets Nibaron’s circle, learning doubts about Nibaron’s innocence. A late-night reconnaissance at Nibaron’s home begins to reveal a possible nocturnal routine connected to the killings.

Nibaron insists on meeting 'Rabindranath' during an interview, exhibiting a surreal, haunted demeanor that unsettles the investigators. A tense cemetery sequence follows, where Abhijit and Probir share their personal losses and discuss endurance. Their alternating viewpoints sharpen their resolve.

Swapan, Nibaron’s supposed servant, emerges as a pivotal figure in the killer’s network. He reveals a dark truth: Nibaron’s inner circle has aided the killings, and the real mastermind may be closer than expected. The investigation ties a book fair arson and a crafted lie to frame the poet and force his suicide.

A cataclysmic twist exposes Probir as the mastermind and shows him orchestrating the killings to retaliate for his suspension. He stages a public confrontation with a publisher figure named Rabindranath Mitra. Abhijit must reconcile his trust in colleagues with the evidence against Probir.

The evidence implicates Kanai as the killer’s executor, working under Probir’s direction. Probir’s motive is revealed as a personal vendetta against the police, built on deceit and a twisted sense of revenge. The case spirals into a moral crucible for Abhijit.

With Rabindranath Tagore’s death anniversary approaching, Probir engineers a chilling public confrontation with Rabindranath Mitra, revealing his calculated manipulation. Abhijit is stunned to learn how deeply Swapan/Kanai has been entangled with Probir. The stage is set for a dramatic reckoning.

Probir confronts Abhijit and admits his hatred of murder and his decision to commit murder as revenge. After reciting what he believes to be the final couplet, he takes his own life. The city is left to absorb the moral ambiguity of a policeman turned killer.

The case closes with Probir’s confession and suicide, forcing Abhijit to reevaluate heroism, complicity, and the costs of truth. Amrita and the city reflect on the toll of a poetry-driven nightmare that blurred lines between justice and vengeance. The investigation leaves a heavy, elegiac memory of Kolkata.

The narrative closes with a meditation on how art can incite violence and how personal vendettas can distort justice. Poetry remains both motive and weapon, and Kolkata’s atmospheric setting lingers as a somber reminder of the story’s themes.
