A grim, high-stakes thriller about a female cop's relentless pursuit of a human trafficking kingpin, driven by rage and justice rather than hope.

A Mumbai police officer's search for a missing teenage girl leads her to the depraved world of child trafficking. What follows is a cat-and-mouse game between the officer and a ruthless mafia kingpin.
