In the quiet mist-covered hills of Shillong, life moves slowly—until a series of brutal killings shatter the peace of the small town. The responsibility to uncover the truth falls on S.I. Arjun Joseph, an outsider police officer already struggling to gain the locals’ trust. His search for answers leads him to a man everyone in the community reveres: Mr. Yashraj Singh, a respected schoolteacher known for his wisdom, charity, and gentle ways. But in a place where reputation is sacred and trust is unquestioned, Joseph’s suspicions are met with hostility and disbelief. As he digs deeper, the line between truth and paranoia begins to blur. Is Mr. Singh the savior the town believes him to be—or is there a darkness hidden behind the mask of respectability? Set against the haunting backdrop of Shillong’s fog-draped hills, Mr. Singh is a psychological thriller about obsession, trust, and the terrifying cost of uncovering secrets that a community refuses to face.
