Rangaratha presents "Absinth"

Summary:

"Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you"

The story of ABSINTH is all about the Greed and the Deed. It revolves around the death of an Army Colonel in a mysterious way.

Though the court declared it as a natural death, few of his friends who gather at a highway hotel accidentally, suspect foul play. If at all it's a murder, who killed Colonel ... and why?

Karma follows. It never spares anyone. Watch out!!
