A nuclear oncologist hires a detective to keep watch on her husband, who is revealed to be working to prevent an international terror attack by an Afghani Al-Qaeda Jihadi with whom he has a past.

Actor-director Kamal Haasan turns the tropes of spy thrillers on their head to present a charismatic, ambitious drama. Boasting of exceptionally shot sequences, this genre film cleverly goes beyond its classic good vs evil plot to explore the labyrinthine world of social and political chaos.
