Description
In 1921, Bombay's streets are ablaze with unrest as British colonial rule hangs in the balance. Amidst this turmoil, Perveen Mistry, the city's first female lawyer, is compelled to seek justice for a young woman whose death has sparked outrage and suspicion. Freny Cuttingmaster, an 18-year-old Parsi student, fell from a second-floor gallery just as Prince Edward VIII was passing by. Her family had confided in Perveen days before her death, making her death seem all too suspicious. As the coroner's inquest unfolds, Perveen must navigate treacherous waters of racial tension and violence to uncover the truth behind Freny's tragic demise. With the city on the brink of chaos, Perveen must confront her own fears and doubts to bring justice to a suffering family - even if it means putting herself at risk.
