In the rain‑slick streets of Kolkata, the city’s endless hum becomes a backdrop to a solitary figure whose mornings are marked by quiet persistence. John Biswas, a septuagenarian grandfather, spends his days shuffling between the police precinct and the very places where his past haunts still linger. The lingering ache of a long‑unsolved tragedy shapes his world, turning ordinary routine into a relentless pursuit of answers that feels as inevitable as the monsoon.

At home, the weight of loss is compounded by the fragile health of his wife, Nancy, whose confinement adds a tender, if strained, layer to his resolve. Their daughter’s memory looms large, and the family’s strained relationships hint at deeper fissures that have never fully healed. Yet, it is John’s quiet determination that draws the sympathy of Inspector Sarita Sharma, a diligent officer who, despite the procedural limits of her role, offers a rare glimpse of institutional empathy amidst bureaucratic inertia.

Enter Father Martin, a former police inspector who has exchanged his badge for a clerical collar, yet remains tethered to the same unresolved case that torments John. Haunted by his own sense of failure, the priest‑turned‑detective provides both spiritual counsel and seasoned investigative insight. Their uneasy alliance balances John’s raw, personal drive with Martin’s introspective, methodical approach, creating a dynamic where faith and justice constantly negotiate their boundaries.

Together they navigate the maze of Kolkata’s bustling markets, historic neighborhoods, and shadowed alleys, each step echoing with the promise that truth, however elusive, may yet surface. The film’s tone weaves together melancholy, steadfast resolve, and a lingering sense of moral ambiguity, inviting viewers to wonder what lengths a grieving heart will go to when the line between vengeance and justice begins to blur.
