She desperately seeks a way out. Following her spiritual guru’s advice, she carries out India’s first ever nuclear test to divert the masses and get some time to restore her popularity. With the American President hating her, the Delhi CIA chief is tasked to stop her in her tracks and depose her. Meanwhile, Viper, the Pakistan ISI agent, gets into action to wreak havoc in India. With all the odds stacked against Priya Kaul, only two men can get her what she wants. Atomic scientist Dr Venkat Iyer and his team of dedicated scientists must race against time to assemble the bomb. Legendary spymaster, Sudhir Raina (Rhino), must neutralise Pakistani disruptive intent and the CIA’s sinister designs. As the intelligence agents of the three countries battle it out, can Rhino and Iyer deliver what they had set out to do? With disguise and deception at every turn, can they help Priya Kaul get out of the rut? Step into this world of subterfuge, betrayal and violence at your own risk because at stake is a world event that could change India’s fortune once and for all.
