Sresha, an expert in nuclear safety, has just joined a broad team of professionals. Their task is to analyze the environmental impact of the Catastrophe - a cataclysmic nuclear power plant accident that occurred in Delhi almost five decades ago. As Sresha works with others on the team to analyze data from the site, she makes a startling discovery. One small patch on a high resolution photograph appears to show an area under cultivation. Sresha is intrigued. Have people from nearby areas recently settled in the Dead Zone? Or could this possibly be evidence of survivors from the Catastrophe itself? Sresha is desperate to investigate further. But not everyone is equally interested in unearthing the truth. Lalitha seems to be more interested in her nail polish and Arun clearly only has one thing on his mind. Sresha does have one ally in Ashok... but the official route to investigating her discovery is embroiled in politics and Sresha realizes she must resort to drastic measures if the world is ever to find out about the survivors.
