A homage to the noir genre, Manorama is about an amateur detective in a small town who finds himself caught in a web of lies, deceit and murder. GV is a goverment engineer but his real ambition has always been writing detective fiction. Unfortunately, his maiden attempt, a novel called Manorama, sank without a trace and he has been reduced to writing for cheap pulp magazines.

Stifled by the dreariness of small town existence and frusted by his failure, SV's life changes when the wife of a powerful local politician arrives at his doorstep with an irresistable offer; the chance for GV to play a real life detective by spying on her husband. Intrigued and tempted by the opportunity to redeem his self-worth, GV accepts.

Upon completion of his assignment, things take a turn when GV discovers that the woman is not who she claims to be. The situation get further complicated when she is killed in a mysterious accident.
Sensing foul play, GV begins investigating her death only to discover that nothing is what it seems to be and that redemption doesn't come easy....
