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.

Why is Ganesh the caretaker lying? How much does Mrs. Dasgupta know? What are they hiding? Dead dogs and letters in a lawyer's chamber...a woman robbed at gunpoint two years ago...panties laced with booze and detergent inside Shibu's pocket...big mammalian bones buried underground...what does it all mean? With the help of a little girl, Sandipan embarks on his journey to resurrect the truth. From Mumbai to Murshidabad, they accost men with strange passions, enemies who hunt for diamonds and money. 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.
