In a quiet Hyderabad suburb, celebrated biologist Dr. Arvind Rao pursues an unusual dream - to craft pure, organic honey in his garden laboratory. But one morning, he is found dead on the cold lab floor, no wound on his body - only a glimmer of honey on his lips.

The case falls to Inspector Meera Sen, a detective whose mind balances scientific clarity with human intuition. Her search uncovers a truth as astonishing as it is terrifying: someone had laced the flowers with a nano-toxin - harmless to bees, but fatal to humans through the honey they created.

Three people stand at the centre of the storm: Rao's silent wife Leela, his ambitious assistant Rohan, and Rohan's troubled wife Clara. Their tangled emotions - envy, betrayal, yearning - weave a web darker than the poison itself.

Rohan, who fancies himself the "God of Science," strikes back at Rao for stealing his patent and his glory. Leela's silence and Clara's helplessness turn the crime into a tragedy of conscience.

In the end, Meera uncovers a final clue left by Rao himself: "Honey and death bloom from the same flower."

This is not merely a whodunit. It is a meditation on the moment when science forgets its soul and love decays into vengeance.
