A GRIPPING MYSTERY ABOUT A SHOCKING SECRET NESTLED IN THE IDYLLS OF A LUXURIOUS GATED COMMUNITY, NO TRESPASSING HOOKS YOU FROM THE START AND KEEPS YOU TILL THE END.
Fantasia is the dream for many: an ultra-luxury gated community with its own private forest, a lake and a golf course. Moving here is by invitation only. Vedika and her family enter this idyll, and eager to shrug off her middle-class upbringing, she quickly seeks out the company of her elite neighbours. But something seems to be affecting her son, Sajan. He seems confused and unresponsive—and a few other kids in the neighbourhood also appear to be under some sort of trance.
And then, right before a doctor’s appointment, Sajan dies in a freak accident.
Numbed by grief at first, Vedika is jolted back into reality by a cold revelation: her boy was murdered. Anxious to find out what exactly happened to her son, she begins investigating his death. But as she delves deeper into her neighbours’ lives and her own memories, disturbing links between Fantasia and her past begin to emerge. Gripping and tense, No Trespassing is a disquieting work that peels back the glossy layers of such urban dwellings.
