Some debts aren't paid in money.
Ten years ago, Vikram Solanki fled Veraval believing he had killed his brother. He built a new life abroad, on his own terms, owing nothing to anyone — and never once stopped believing he didn't deserve it.
Now his father is dying, the family's fishing export business is bleeding money no one can explain, and a body has surfaced in one of their own trawlers. Vikram has no choice but to come home — not to inherit anything, but to repay a debt he believes only blood can settle.
What he finds is a house built on a decade of silence: a father who chose mercy over truth, a manager who chose theft over honesty, and a widow who never stopped loving him, however hard she's tried to convince herself otherwise. As old ledgers begin to reveal what the water once hid, Vikram must decide whether the courage that rebuilt his life abroad is enough to face what actually happened on that dock — and whether some kinds of guilt are heavier to put down than to keep carrying.
A multigenerational family saga wrapped around a slow-burn mystery, Dead Weight asks what we owe the people we've wronged, and what it costs to finally set the truth down.
