A senior officer with the Mumbai police's crime branch, Shivani Shivaji Roy, takes on the head of a child-trafficking network after a teenage girl close to her family disappears. The girl, who sells flowers on the street and is treated as a daughter in Shivani's household, is abducted, and Shivani's search draws her into a brutal underworld of exploitation. The investigation becomes personal, setting up a pursuit between the determined officer and the young man who runs the racket.
