A high-octane action thriller about a reluctant heir forced to step into his mafia father's violent world, balancing vigilante justice with personal conflict.

A mafia don sends his son out of the country because he doesn't want even a shadow of his life falling on him. Destiny wills otherwise. The son makes an innocuous trip to Mumbai to visit his dad. And ends up filling his father's large shoes.
