He is assigned to look into the case of an abandoned ship which mysteriously landed at the shores of Mumbai. Curious to understand what went wrong with the ship, Prithvi begins his investigation which is now being dubbed as the 'haunted ship'. Unbeknownst to him, there are a bunch of horrors, including the ghost of a young girl, that haunts the ship, who have now begun to surface.Midway through the trailer, we also see Prithvi lying in a hospital bed, where doctors tell him that he is hallucinating.
