Rajveer is a regular guy with regular aspirations. His life’s trajectory takes him to Jammu and Kashmir as a young assistant superintendent of police and from then on, it’s a roller-coaster ride, as he tries to balance his professional and personal lives. As both go through many changes, what remains constant is his dedication to the elimination of terror outfits, particularly the Lashkar-e-Jabbar, whose members are focused on an all-out war against the nation.

As the terror outfit intensifies its network in the state and carries out the most devastating attacks, Rajveer must think on his feet, juggling different aspects of a counterterrorism operation, leading from the front, all the time handling his family life as best he can. It’s a constant game of chess and hide-and-seek between him and the terrorists. This is the riveting story of an officer who will do everything he can to serve the nation.

Inspired by actual incidents, it is a thriller like no other, with revelatory insights into the workings of the mujahideen and the bravery of the Indian police forces.
