She is poor. He is rich. The verdict seemed predetermined. When the system protects the powerful, the truth becomes a battle. A gripping suspense set in the heart of the Indian courts.
In New Delhi, sixteen-year-old Baby, the daughter of a domestic worker, is raped. Her alleged attacker, Maheep Singh, is a wealthy and arrogant young man, protected by his father’s status as an influential businessman. Very quickly, the justice system, riddled with power and vested interests, begins to falter. Justice seems out of reach for those without money or a prominent name. Vansh Diwan, a renowned lawyer and Baby’s mother’s employer, refuses to intervene, paralyzed by his ties to the suspect’s family. His wife, outraged, decides to call upon their old friend, Akash Hingorani, a charismatic and committed lawyer, to defend the victim and uncover the truth. But the case takes a dramatic turn when Maheep is found dead. And it is Baby’s mother who finds herself in the dock. The fight for justice then becomes a war against injustice, abuse of power, and the organized silence surrounding the case.
