The story of the show revolves around the investigation of amysterious murder, and involves dark web.
Emphasising the relevance of the story in the present time,Pratiek said: " We all know that social media is such an integral part ofour life and we get connected with so many people, communities through socialmedia. There is a lot of positivity social media has to offer, but there is theflipside of toxicity, too. We know about trolling, abusive language, andnegative content. In our show, we address the dark web, in which the crime rateis increasing. Innocent people are being exploited, even murdered, and whenthey enter that cycle they just do it unknowingly. I hope, after watching theshow, people become more aware and conscious. The virtual world is part of ourlife but we really have to use the power of it responsibly."
