Recently, some cases were filed in the police station for missing women, and following that, the sensible blind lady Gia Singh’s sixth sense gave her doubt; she also stated the same to the police, but the COP took Gia lightly. The missing cases were handled by Detective Prithvi (Vinay Pathak). Very soon, he uncovers the chilling truth - this was no ordinary kidnapping spree; it was a meticulously orchestrated saga of serial abductions, intricately interwoven and interconnected. Assisted by Gia Singh, how Prithvi unravels the dark secrets and exposes the malevolent orchestrator, forms the crux of the film.
