Bombay, 1952. When once legendary British film producer, Richard Boorman, working in India's film capital, Bombay, is found murdered, shot dead, his body stuffed into the trunk of his car, Persis, India's first female police detective, is tasked to find his killer. Working with Archie Blackfinch, a forensic scientist from the Metropolitan Police service in London, she delves into the case, and soon discovers that Boorman's activities in India may not have been confined to the silver screen. As the investigation progresses, Persis finds herself drawn into a web of danger and deceit, and to a meeting with a man of such unmitigated evil that his very existence has been stricken from history. In India's city of dreams, it is sometimes nightmares that prevail.
