Synopsis

Dr. Arjun Mehra, a young psychiatrist from Delhi, accepts a temporary assignment at a rural government hospital near the Ridge. Soon he is called to an isolated haveli owned by the enigmatic Malik family after its patriarch is found wounded under impossible circumstances.
The villagers refuse to speak of the estate.
They call it The House(Haveli) Beyond the Ridge.
Inside, Arjun discovers a family living under strange rules:

• No one leaves after sunset.
• Every mirror is covered before midnight.
• Every Thursday, the household gathers silently beside an abandoned Mughal stepwell.
• Every generation, one member disappears without explanation.

As Arjun investigates, he uncovers a forgotten seventeenth-century covenant tied to a nameless entity that has lingered beneath the Ridge since the fall of the Mughal Empire.
The true horror isn't that the spirit wants revenge.
It's that it has been patiently shaping the destinies of entire families for centuries.
