Around 4:00 am, Armaan loses control of his vehicle while driving on a deserted road and crashes into the sea. This shocking incident triggers an extensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.

Following the crash, Armaan's body is recovered from the sea. His wife, Sonia, is left bewildered as to why her husband was driving alone at such an hour, instead of relying on his driver and crew.

Senior Police Inspector Surjan Singh Shekhawat is introduced as he grapples with personal grief. His young son Karan has recently drowned, leaving both him and his wife, Roshni, enveloped in sorrow.

Surjan, alongside his assistant Devrath Kulkarni, starts piecing together the investigation into Armaan's accident. They are particularly focused on why Armaan had been in that area known for its history of strange incidents.

As the investigation progresses, it comes to light that Armaan was transporting Rs 2 million in cash at the time of the accident. The disappearance of this money raises countless questions about the events leading up to the crash.

Surjan uncovers the existence of a blackmailer named Shashi, who had helped Armaan in the past. This revelation hints at a deeper connection and motives surrounding Armaan’s actions on the night of his death.

In her search for comfort, Roshni turns to local medium Frenny Mistry to connect with her deceased son Karan. The emotional toll on Roshni illuminates the family's struggles as Surjan remains oblivious to her activities.
