    Radhi returns home to Mumbai to lick her wounds after a failed relationship and a bout of writer's block, but she soon gets caught up in the tangled mystery surrounding the death of her best friend's father. 
     
     
     
    Among the rarefied circles of Mumbai's posh Temple Hill, there is nothing more tragic than loss of face—not even loss of life. 
     
     
     
    Radhi's pregnant best friend Sanjana's father is found dead in his study. Everyone says it's suicide. And yet, just hours before, he was telling Sanjana that he couldn't wait to hold his grandchild in his arms. 
     
     
     
    Something feels off to Radhi. Her suspicions are further raised by the surly cook and timid young maid's odd behavior. 
     
     
     
    And who did the second cup of tea on his desk belong to? 
     
     
     
    Radhi is determined to uncover the truth. But the deeper she digs beneath the diamond-studded prayer meetings and the lavishly catered "pure-veg" brunches, the faster she finds herself drawn into a web of festering grievances, hidden agendas, and long-buried secrets. 
     
     
     
    As the intense Indian summer draws to an end and the monsoon sets in, Radhi risks everything to find out the truth.
