A grim, investigative docudrama that reconstructs a real terrorist attack and its aftermath, exploring the moral and political complexities of a manhunt in a fractured city.

Bombs tear through Bombay in 1993, wreaking havoc and polarising the citizens. With perpetrators at large, the state launches a massive man-hunt to unmask the perpetrators behind these events.
