begins
investigating
what

appears
to
be
a
routine
law-and-order
issue
linked
to
local
unrest.
As
the
inquiry
progresses,
patterns
begin
to
emerge
that
point
toward
unresolved
disappearances
across
rural
regions
near
the
Kerala-Tamil
Nadu
border.

expands
in
scope,
drawing
in

in
tracking
an
organized
and
elusive
operation.

procedural
