The story
What it's about
A shocking road rage incident changes several lives forever when two young men are shot, leaving one dead. Salaar, a privileged and influential young man, appears to be responsible, but the blame falls on Usher — an ordinary middle-class boy struggling with financial problems and no powerful connections.
Forced to prove his innocence, Usher must remain one step ahead of Inspector Akram, a determined police officer pursuing him. As the pressure grows and the truth becomes harder to uncover, Usher’s relationship with Aena is also tested by fear, mistrust and uncertainty.
