The murder of an innocent woman, Rebecca Greene and the sudden disappearance of Chaya Pandit, the wife of a famous scientist, has the Bengaluru city police immensely puzzled and at a dead end. Already battling to enforce section 114 of the Indian Penal Code, in the backdrop of the protests to the Citizenship Amendment Act and the pandemic, the police force is, overstretched. Therefore, the police commissioner, Ram Vedantham hands over the cases to the Intelligence Bureau to see them to their logical end, and soon. The chief of the Bureau, Karan Rathod, assigns Brij Raghavan and Nihal Shesan to investigate. The National Anti-Terror Wing and Security Agency (NATW-SA) in Delhi has intel that eleven terrorists have infiltrated the city of Bengaluru, further compounding the anxieties of the police force. The police commissioner once again knocks on the doors of the most credible organization, the Bureau. Karan Rathod puts his best, but the truculent officer Brij Raghavan on the job. Battling with ghosts from the past, and often reprimanded for his defiant ways, he is the lead officer in this operation to find and neutralize the terrorists, but the trail seems murkier! A dotted line appears to connect the murder of Rebecca Greene and the missing person Chaya Pandit to suspected enablers under the protective marquee of the formidable leader of the opposition, Elias Reza! Will Brij be able to weave through the caliginous maze of corruption, greed, and manipulation to apprehend the terrorists?
