The Hunter of Pigeons
Once upon a redbrick building, Sandipan Sen loses his childhood in the storm. His hero Shibu dies in a violent accident. Life isn't the same without him. No more chasing pigeons, no more digging holes in the park. Fighting drugs and loneliness, 19 year-old Sandipan lives in a world full of unanswered questions. As he tries to grasp what killed his friend, exactly, there are tricks and illusions to deal with, smeared across his full-sleeved shirt. Is Shibu's brother sick or does he fake it?

Shibu's life was a cosmic conspiracy. The rage of stars above. He was destined to die. A dark stormy night, Calcutta. They say on such a night, anything can happen.
