Inside Ravenshade
१SC 01 · TK 1
The investigation
Ananya Mathur (32), a fiery investigative journalist, traces a rise in trafficking to Ravenshade Sanatorium — a prestigious psychiatric hospital whose recovered patients never return home. It is run by Dr. Clara Fernandes (52), a respected psychiatrist rumoured to operate a racket protected by politicians, businessmen and police.

Undercover
Her channel buries the story. Ananya confides in ACP Ranveer Singh Rana (38) and her younger sister Siya (25), then has herself admitted as a patient. Inside, patients are drugged, brainwashed and sent to elite clients under the cover of treatment — enforced by Clara’s cold-blooded assassin Lamis (26), with an unseen mastermind above them all.

The descent
Ananya disappears. A burnt, mutilated body is found and believed to be hers. Siya and Ranveer refuse to accept it. Each revelation of corruption, trauma and abuse of power draws them closer to a trap built to destroy them both.
