## What’s the Story About?

The show follows Alisha “Ali” Nigam (Asha Negi), a sharp, science-driven neuropsychology expert searching for her missing father. Her investigation leads her straight to Baba (Vishal Vashishtha), the police officer assigned to her case. What begins as a grounded, logical search quickly spirals into a supernatural mess neither of them saw coming — forty restless spirits, all somehow tied to her father’s disappearance, standing in for the original tale’s forty thieves.
