The Pickpocket's Letter

He can’t read. He can’t write. But he has a story to tell.


Seventeen-year-old Deenu has survived a life most wouldn’t—abandoned, betrayed, and hunted by violence at every turn. Illiterate but unbroken, he dictates a raw, fearless letter to India’s Prime Minister, laying bare a journey that begins in an orphanage and spirals into the brutal underworld of child trafficking in Bengaluru.


When his only friend is murdered, Deenu runs—straight into the chaos of Kolkata—armed with nothing but a stolen photograph and the instinct to stay alive. He doesn’t know the picture carries a secret. He only knows Vikram, the ruthless trafficker, is hunting him for it.


As their paths collide, Deenu’s flight becomes a dangerous quest ignited by chance: a pickpocketed wallet, a forgotten love letter, and the fragile hope of reuniting two lives torn apart by time. With Vikram closing in, Deenu must choose—fight for justice or surrender to the darkness that has chased him since childhood.


Heart-pounding, profoundly moving. A voice that refuses to be silenced—even when it cannot read the words it speaks.
