A college student Ivan navigates life with a fractured psyche, keeping his darker alter ego buried beneath layers of repression. But when relentless bullying from his so-called friends escalates beyond endurance, a simmering rage awakens the shadowy side within him. Bound by toxic bonds masquerading as friendship, Ivan becomes increasingly isolated — his connections only deepen his sense of disconnection. What starts as a desire for solitude spirals into a sinister battle for control, as Ivan’s alter ego takes matters into his own hands.

He got into IIITB. That was supposed to be the hard part.

He must confront the final interview and find a way to change his tune before it's too late.
