Synopsis

Blood money flows through the veins of Mumbai. People vanish around a night train. No one notices—until a pattern emerges.

Once a feared Mumbai encounter cop, Assistant Police Inspector Suryakant Patil now sits behind a desk, wrestling with the demons of his past. Something 
feels amiss, but he doesn’t know what. When he picks up on the pattern, Patil is compelled to return to the hunt.

At his side is Head Constable Thakur, a street-smart veteran who knows when to talk and when to strike. Elsewhere, Mohan—an upright railway TTE—moves 
between backroom teen patti games and crowded platforms, navigating the tracks with quiet purpose.

The deeper they dig, the murkier things get. The teeming alleys of Dadar, and the railway lines stretching into the hinterland, hide something dark.

Not every track leads to a destination. Some lead back in time. And those tracks aren’t meant to be followed. In the city and along the tracks, will Patil get to the truth, or will the truth get him first?
