She thought she’d already seen the worst, but then her captor’s gritty eyes set upon her, aeer that
stalled her senses. In that moment, she understood—she was the target.
At 24, Meera is exactly the girl her parents wanted her to be: subtle, upright and compliant. She
abandoned her dream of becoming a pilot at the first whiff of disapproval from her family, accepting
the bland office job her father secured for her at a friend’s company.
When she visits company’s offshore plant in Saharanpur with a team of coworkers, Meera is desperate
to return to Delhi—the factory is dull and dusty, thick with the smell of chemicals. On the trip back
to Delhiate that evening, the team becomes a victim of a violent highway robbery.
Next morning, the police find everyone at the crime scene except Meera. The news of the attack
also reaches the media. In the investigation that follows, Meera’s family blames her boss for their
daughter’s disappearance.
How does one girl’s abduction ripple through the lives of an entire community? What happened to
Meera? Are her captors more than they seem?
