Shalini, a single mom who works as a manager at a Delhi nightclub, takes under her wing a new hire, Komal, a young woman from her village who has recently arrived in the capital. When a fatal shooting leads the administration to mandate surveillance watches on all staff, Shalini must supervise the enforcement of this new policy, clashing with a defiant Komal who is determined to safeguard her privacy and secret past.

In this gripping psychological thriller, seasoned cinematographer Udit Khurana (Ghaath, Mithya) makes his impressive directorial debut, expertly controlling the tension to deliver a foreboding commentary on the abuse of technology in a dystopian future that rings eerily close. Engaged in a fascinating power play, Jyoti Dogra and Ambika Kamal deliver exhilarating performances as two women who despite sharing a maternal-like bond, must navigate a traditionally male world as both allies and foes, constantly having to reassess their trust in one another in an increasingly Orwellian universe.
