The series begins with a string of mysterious deaths, a series of women are found dead in public bathrooms. However, nobody seems surprised by these sudden deaths, because at first, they appear to be clear-cut suicides. But Sub-Inspector Anjali Bhaati who is tasked with the investigation of this particular case suspects it to be more complicated than it seems. She notices a similarity in all the cases, long nightly phone calls and a boyfriend that no one in the neighbourhood has ever seen. Then begins a riveting game of cat and mouse between a seasoned serial killer and an underdog cop as she pieces together evidence before another innocent woman loses her life.
