Inspector Krishna Mehta's mesh antenna is broken. In a Mumbai where augmented reality overlays every surface, his glitching connection strands him in the raw city underneath. That's when he sees the marks. Faint rainbow shimmers on people's foreheads, invisible to everyone else. When the marked start dying from catastrophic brain haemorrhages, Krishna follows the pattern to a hospital shrine, a corporate conspiracy, and uploaded human consciousness running on networked minds. Someone is hijacking the gods themselves. And the deeper Krishna investigates, the more he realises the conspiracy doesn't just threaten Mumbai's deities. It's already inside his partner's head.
