Nevertheless, as Ronny's investigation into Alisha's existence continues, he stumbles upon a sinister plot hatched by the cold-blooded businessman Chacko (Sanjay Dutt).

A vicious night of treachery and a last desperate display of power culminate in Hedda's orchestration of a series of cruel machinations involving George, Eileen, and Eileen's companion, Thea, driven by her desire for control, a longing for the freedom she has been deprived of, and a complex resentment that is exacerbated by her mixed-race identity in a mostly white, patriarchal society.
