The story revolves around a medical student who is an escort and gets trapped in a murder trap of her wealthy client. Vikram Bhatt who plays a lawyer named Aakash Awasthi comes to her rescue.While the show is largely a courtroom - drama, what is unknown that it is inspired by real-life events. Sreejita De's character in the digital show is actually based on a real life girl by the name by Amanda Knox, an American writer and activist who was in prison for four years post a wrongful conviction.



While researching on the show, it was his daughter Krishna Bhatt who came across the case and then developed the idea into a script adapting the struggle of Amanda Knox for a limited series which was then made into a 10 part series.
