Summer, 2007 — Northern Pakistan

A low, distant boom echoes beyond the barred window. By evening, the streets fall silent, emptied and tense. Soon, the days erupt with screams, gunshots, and the thud of explosions as militancy sweeps across the region.
Twelve-year-old Marleen and her headstrong cousin, Naima, are forbidden from leaving the family estate. But as the summer presses on, Naima—desperate to escape an unhappy childhood—grows increasingly reckless and secretive. Marleen, eager to belong, follows her lead.
When a boy with a troubled past crosses into their world, everything shifts.
With Babajan away, busy contesting the national elections, the children create The Chess Society. What begins as harmless entertainment—an imaginative diversion born of boredom and confinement—slowly evolves into a hierarchy of strategy, loyalty, and power, a secret kingdom beyond the reach of adults.
But as the violence outside intensifies, the games inside begin to darken, taking on macabre new rules that blur the line between play and something far more dangerous.
