In 1648, Shahjahanabad's newly built Red Fort glitters under the lights of Emperor Shah Jahan's inauguration banquet. Rosewater perfume and traditional music fill the grand halls, masking deep political rivalries. The sudden death of the court astrologer and the disappearance of the legendary Syamantaka Gem plunge the court into chaos.
