Within days of her fairy-tale wedding to real estate tycoon Manav Chauhan, Hiya Sen – the reigning queen of Tollywood – is brutally gangraped and murdered, and Manav is grievously injured on their way home after partying late into the night. ACP Agni Mitra is assigned to the case, owing to his keen eye for detail and past success in important cases. His investigation leads him to an eclectic mix of suspects – the three cronies of a contract killer who are charged with the crime; Manav's ex-fiancée and her father; an alcoholic male model and TV star; an ageing Tollywood diva past her prime; and a maverick fashion designer. When two more murders make headlines, Agni must race against time to unveil the dark secrets behind the limelight. Inspired by true events, The Web of Lies breezes through Kolkata's glamourous world of business, movies and fashion, laced with drug addiction, homosexuality and illicit liaisons.
