This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Kabir is the scion of a medical dynasty, but he feels like an architect who has built a skyscraper on shifting silt. A first-year intern in internal medicine, he is crushed by the "weight of the coat" and a paralyzing imposter syndrome he cannot cure. To survive the wards, he relies on the relentless confidence of his girlfriend, Rhea; to survive his own soul, he seeks the quiet empathy of Tara.
Trapped in a "split reality," Kabir navigates the "Squeeze" of the Delhi summer and the terminal expectations of his family. He is the coward in the middle, triaging his heart to delay an inevitable explosion. But as the results of the INI CET loom and the monsoon breaks over New Delhi, the metadata trail ends in a trash-filled alleyway in Hauz Khas. The masks are coming down, and Kabir must face the fallout of the lies that fueled a three-way collision.
