Savi

Savi

Nakul Sachdeva and Savitri Sachdeva (Savi) are an Indian couple living in Liverpool with their son Adi. They lead a happy and peaceful life, with Savi being a housewife, while Nakul works as a construction worker. Nakul has a bad relationship with his boss Stephanie Fowler, who is racist and often humiliates him. One morning, police arrive, accusing Nakul of murdering his boss Stephanie. Nakul is found guilty and sentenced for life despite pleading not guilty. Savi believes he is innocent though the evidence against Nakul is strong: his fingerprint is on the murder weapon (a fire extinguisher), Stephanie's blood is on his clothes, and he has motive because Stephanie hates him. Nakul narrates a different story: he was passing by the crime scene when he bumped into an unknown man. Stephanie's blood was all over the murderer's clothes and the bump left drops on Nakul's coat. He then saw the fire extinguisher on the road so he placed it back, leaving his fingerprint on it. Nakul claims he remembers he heard a clothes button falling on the ground when the two bumped into each other, so if the button can be found, his narrative shall be proved. However, no evidence is found. The couple's appeal is also rejected due to lack of evidence. Hope diminishes with time going by. Savi enters financial difficulty as she has no source of income and cannot find a job. She decides to break Nakul out of jail.
