Beneath The Canopy: A journey of a Journalist

Disillusioned journalist Vikrant Chakraborty is drawn into a gripping mystery when he investigates the long-forgotten disappearance of a brilliant young botanist, Arjun Malhotra. His search leads him deep into the heart of Rungatela, an uncharted Indian swamp plagued by supernatural anomalies-zones of fire, gravitational distortion, and hallucinations that defy logic and science.

What begins as a professional assignment soon becomes a personal reckoning, as Vikrant's journey forces him to confront his own fears, guilt, and the fragility of human reason in the face of the unknown. Along the way, he is aided by a mysterious tribal elder, haunted by hallucinations of his beloved Vini, and drawn toward a central anomaly-an entity that may be a doorway to another reality.

As Vikrant pushes past the limits of survival, sanity, and science, he discovers Arjun in the heart of the anomaly-and something even more profound: the cost of seeking truth at all costs. Rescued against all odds, Vikrant returns not as a conqueror of mystery, but as a man changed by it.

Choosing a quieter life with Vini and accepting a research position at M.T. College, Vikrant steps away from the dangers of field investigation. Meanwhile, Arjun rises as a renowned academic, carrying forward the research that once threatened to consume them both.

In the end, Beneath the Canopy is a story not just about what lies in the shadows of a forgotten swamp-but about what it means to choose love, healing, and peace after walking through fire.
