Three Two One

Snippets of events in an urban police station unfold the relationship between SI Piyush and ASI Ratika. Though, they share an intimacy; Ratika is not yet ready to be in a relationship. Another SI Vishwanath also has a sense of affection towards her, but he cannot express his feelings to her.
