Trapped in a storm-ravaged Darjeeling, lawyer P.K. Basu and his wife, Rani, find themselves in a deadly game of cat and mouse. A mysterious killer is on the loose at the secluded Hotel Repose, and time is running out. With a roomful of suspicious guests and the outside world cut off, tension is palpable. As the body count rises, Basu teams up with the local police to unmask the murderer before they strike again.
