When university professor Kashif Razvi's seemingly ordinary life is shattered by a mysterious death in his family, he's forced to take matters into his own hands. As the path to justice and closure only turns up more questions, he decides that it's worth it - to search for the truth at the risk of losing himself and the ones he loves most.
With the help of an armored suit built by his childhood friend Samir, Kashif plunges into the underworld of city gangs to uncover the truth. This journey thrusts him into a war with the criminal world, turning him into a superhero for the city, but also a vigilante wanted by the police.
The more he suits up to save the city, the more he realizes that the life of a superhero comes with a cost. Sinister villains emerge, copycat vigilantes disrupt law and order, and Kashif's personal life shatters around him. The pursuit of the truth leads him down a rabbit hole of explosive events, and before he knows it, his life spirals out of control.
Ultimately, Kashif must make a heart-wrenching choice: to save the city or himself.
