Satyaveer who works in the public works department is bored with his middle-class existence, his small-town life and its small problems. There seems to be no challenge or adventure to excite the young man. He has dreams of becoming a writer, in fact, he has even written a detective novel called Manorama. But he is disheartened by the fact that it hasn't fared well in the market. And then, one day, an incident occurs that sucks him into a conspiracy. A woman called Manorama, who Satyaveer meets and who asks him to look into her 'husband's' affairs, dies under mysterious circumstances. Satyaveer wants to solve the mystery, and takes up the task as a challenge. The act gives a new meaning to his life, a chance to live it differently. 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.
