A contemporary whodunnit, with a splash of supernatural, set in a college campus somewhere in India (a la Indian Institute Of Technology) where a few mysterious deaths occur and the only common link between the victims is that, seconds before their deaths, they all accepted a “Facebook friend request” from a certain profile page of Mona_Darling. When Mona is missing, her friend, and a fellow student, Sarah recruits the help of a classmate, Wiki – a borderline sociopathic genius. This odd – couple of amateur sleuths carry on their investigation as the story leads them into unexpected corners & terrifying revelations.It’s a pacy thriller, confined to limited locations on 1 single campus, populated by fresh, sexy, young characters. More importantly it captures the present zeitgeist of young India and its obsession with social networking.
